[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and they'll share them via fax if they aren't in the same system.

Sorry, you'll have to try doctor shopping for drugs/diagnoses some other way. Opiate prescriptions are always reported to the state.[/quote]

Oh my not why I’m asking at all. I think all prescriptions go into a database anyway. Quite the assumption you jumped to.

It’s the privacy of the visit itself as other pp said. They don’t have to have permission to share? Family member is receptionist at one office and I don’t really want her viewing my records from the other. It’s a new doctor I’m about to see and I noticed that the software is the same when I went to check in.  [/quote]

I'm a nurse at an outpatient practice.  The front desk (receptionist etc.) cannot see as far into the records as the nurse can.  I work at U of MD and I can see other U of MD notes (unless they are in a special category used for psych, addiction, maybe more sensitive areas like that).  If a patient is at another hospital system that uses the same EMR as we do, I cannot see their notes.  I can in the PDMP/ CRISP, though. Who gets access to CRISP?  I do at this practice, but not sure most nurses would.   And if you sign a Release of Information saying your doctor can share info with another, they will but not wholesale. Just whatever is pertinent to their shared treatment of you.

I truly believe I will be fired if I look at someone's EMR that I have no reason to look at.  I hope this has been somewhat reassuring, at least so far as the receptionist looking at your records is concerned.[/quote]
