Media Requests for Patient Information

榴莲视频官方 is committed to ensuring the privacy and safety of our patients, and this policy governs when a member of the media requests information about a patient.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is ensure the privacy and safety of our patients and comply with local, state, and federal laws relating to patient privacy as well as to ensure that if patient information is provided to the media, it is consistent with all other existing or future medical center policies.

Guidelines

The following guidelines will apply to all 榴莲视频官方 faculty and staff and to all members of the media engaged in the acquisition of news with the intent of disseminating it through legitimate and recognized mediums requesting information about a patient:

  • Requests for patient information by a representative of the media must be made through the Office of Communications and Marketing by calling the Office of Communications and Marketing Monday through Friday between 9:00AM and 5:30PM at 212-404-3555. Requests may also be made via email to news@nyulangone.org. After-hours and weekend requests should also be directed to 212-404-3500. A recorded message will give the phone number of the public relations manager on duty.
  • General patient condition information may only be provided by the Office of Communications and Marketing, and then only within the limitations imposed by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA generally requires the patient or their personal representative to consent to disclosures. In order to obtain this information, a patient name is required. Medical conditions will be reported as follows: Good, Fair, Serious, Critical, or Undetermined. Stable is not a condition and should only be used to clarify a condition (e.g., patient is critical but vital signs are stable). In event of a large-scale disaster, we will attempt to provide non-specific information about patients brought to 榴莲视频官方. The American Hospital Association recommends the following one-word descriptions of a patient's general condition: Undetermined: Patient awaiting physician assessment. Good: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious and comfortable. Indicators are excellent. Fair: Vital signs are stable and within normal limits. Patient is conscious but may be uncomfortable. Indicators are favorable. Serious: Vital signs may be unstable and not within normal limits. Patient is acutely ill. Indicators are questionable. Critical: Vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits. Patient may be unconscious. Indicators are unfavorable. Treated and released: Received treatment but not admitted. Treated and transferred: Received treatment. Transferred to a different facility. A patient name is required. Release of detailed information or information about minors requires written consent of the parent, guardian, or legal representative.
  • 榴莲视频官方鈥檚 privacy obligations do not end with a patient鈥檚 death. The same privacy rules apply after a patient has died. If consent has been obtained and the next of kin has been notified, 榴莲视频官方 may disclose that a patient is 鈥渄eceased.鈥 However, 榴莲视频官方 may not provide any information about the death, including date, time, or cause.
  • Federal and state statutes place additional restrictions on psychiatric patients, those who are HIV positive and those who are undergoing treatment for drug or alcohol abuse. 榴莲视频官方 may not disclose any information concerning a patient who is undergoing treatment for these conditions, including any information about their presence at the medical center.
  • Law enforcement officials, Administration for Child Services, and parents or guardians may ask that no information be released about a child. In such cases, communications officials cannot confirm or deny that a no-information patient is located at our facility, nor can we provide condition reports.
  • Patient privacy rules apply even though information may be a matter of public record or public knowledge. Without express written consent by the patient or guardian, 榴莲视频官方 may not disclose protected health information to the media even though the same information may be found in public records or has been reported elsewhere.
  • HIPAA generally requires the patient or their personal representative to consent to disclosures. In emergency situations, the hospital may not be able to obtain the patient鈥檚 consent because the patient is unconscious or incapable of giving consent. Accordingly, 榴莲视频官方 may not be able to disclose any information to the media in the immediate aftermath of an emergency because there has not been time to obtain the consent from the patient or the patient鈥檚 representative.
