Please redact all patient-identifying information from email communication.


Since 1997, we have responded to over 85,000 risk management questions such as:

  • I am seeing a patient who is a minor. One of his parents is requesting information which I am uncomfortable releasing. What can I do?
  • How do I properly document a patient’s informed consent?
  • What should be included in an information release authorization?
  • How do I handle a request for records of a deceased patient?
  • How long do I have to keep my records?
  • I have just received a subpoena for patient records in a lawsuit, which does not involve me. Do I have to comply? If so, how do I comply without breaching confidentiality?
  • How do I end a physician-patient relationship when the patient doesn’t want to end treatment with me?
  • How do I respond to a request for information from my licensing board about a patient who filed a complaint?
  • I share office space with others. Should I be doing anything more to reduce my risk of being sued by my officemate’s patient?

We encourage our clients to contact us whenever a request or situation is troubling them. No question is insignificant. In fact, the greatest risks lie in not asking the question at all.
