[quote=Anonymous]Yes. Some electronic medical systems allow you to make a patient "privacy" to the point that they won't show up if someone does a basic search for them (like the person who you are talking to is doing). They can escalate it to someone with more access who then sees they are marked privacy and will say they can't find the patient. Other EMRs will just show the patient as privacy so the person will know to just say they have no record of the patient. Obviously this is mainly used in abuse type situations or if there is someone people want to find info about (celebrity, notable person, prisoner, etc). We've had police depts get a hold of us and we can confirm with them that the patient is in our hospital but what their status is. I assume they let whoever called them know that the patient is alive and their whereabouts are known. [/quote]
