What happens to patient's medical records if your doctor dies suddenly?
Q. If your primary care doctor is in practice alone without other physicians and dies suddenly what happens to patient's medical records? Are patients allowed to obtain the records themselves if they don't have another doctor?

A. Yes. The HIPAA medical privacy law gives you the right to see and get copies of your own medical records. There are a few exceptions. For example, HIPAA does not give you the right to access psychotherapy notes or information compiled for use in litigation. Your request may also be denied if the provider decides access to the records could result in harm to you or another person. In addition to HIPAA, many states have laws that allow patients or their designated representatives access medical records. State laws may give you more, but not less, privacy than HIPAA. Upon the doctor's death, it is customary for the office staff to keep the office open for a reasonable amount of time to allow patients to retrieve their records, settle… [cont.]

What can i do to increase patient visits in a chiropractic office?
Q. I am a new office manager and would like suggestions on ways to get new patients. I am also looking for new ideas for patient retention. I welcome your comments and ideas.

A. From a patient stand point these are things that would make me come back/recommend a doctor. 1. Did I get seen on time? If I didn't get seen on time did they offer to either reschedule or give a reason on why I wasn't seen on time? 2. I want to make sure all my questions were answered and I didn't feel rush. Did the doctor also have handouts to help explain my condition etc.? 3. Do I get a call either the day before or sooner to remind me of my appointment. To get more business I would look into how many insurance programs do you accept? If the patient doesn't have insurance do you offer payment plans etc. Advertise in the local paper, buy TV time for a quick ad, make your Ad stand out more in the yellow pages. Print up some… [cont.]

After a patient undergoes a knee replacement, where on the body should ROM exercises be performed?
Q. I am to perform a skit tomorrow for my teacher in my medical class. The scenario is to assist a patient in ROM exercises after a woman has just had a knee replacement.

Or should I perform it on the entire body, including each joint?

What is the difference between being an outpatient and being a patient who is being watched after release?
Q. If there is a patient who was court ordered into a hospital but after years was released conditionally. The patient must take their medicine. Would that patient be considered an outpatient or a patient who has been formally released.
Asked by Heyy123 - Mon Apr 14 19:28:38 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Out patient treatment means you're going through treatment (councelling, meetings, group activities) but are not actually living at the facility. Being on watch means you don't have to go to the treatment center or do all those things except to go in for follow up visits where you talk to a councellor and they monitor your progress. Being on 'watch' is a condition of probation in some states. It basically means you can be asked to take random drug tests and that any relapse into drug use will be monitored and reported to the authorities. In many states you can be court ordered to take any meds perscribed by a doctor. This is almost always in regards to anti-psychotics.

If you had a patient with a bacterial infection of unknown origin how could you set up an experiment to test?
Q. If you had a patient with a bacterial infection of unknown origin how could you set up an experiment to figure out what antibiotic might work best? Thanks!
Asked by Julia M - Tue Jan 26 10:36:33 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. When an infection is suspected the likely sources (usually blood, urine, sputum, CSF, wound, catheter etc.) are cultured and the specimen is sent to the microbiology lab where it is plated and incubated and you wait for the bacteria to grow. Once something grows the pathologist will identify the type of bacteria. Sensitivity testing can also be done. The bacteria is subjected to several antibiotics and the ones that kill the bacteria are recommended to give as the bacteria is said to be susceptible to those medications.

How to differentiate between patient with olfactory nerve problem or with malinger?
Q. How can a doctor know that the patient is malingering or if he/she truly have an olfactory nerve problem?
Asked by kashikilulu - Thu Feb 4 19:57:20 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. I'm not a doctor yet, but I would suggest testing them with some really noxious odor that they would not be able to pretend they don't smell. Or have them come into a room, and have the room flooded with said noxious odor when they are by themselves, but record them or secretly observe them to see if they react since no one is around. Some people vomit just from the smell of vomit, feces, dead fish, etc. If they don't see it, how else would they be able to react without smelling it? Good luck! Can they taste food? Ask them what foods they have been eating lately, but try to disguise what you're looking for - people who cannot smell cannot taste much, either.

How much patient care is involved in being a Radiology Technologist?
Q. If there's a lot of patient care involved, how stressful does it get? Do patients sometimes crash on the spot that you may need to use critical thinking? Should I work as a caregiver/CNA first to see how it's like? How about for Radiation Therapist? Sonographer? same questions apply...

A. None of these do ANY patient care--they are allied health providers --they do testings-and are with the patient only for the test . Some may start an IV to administer contrast (or do a diagnostic procedure such as a barium enema, help with a biopsy under ultrasound guidance & do the dressing after) but they do not do classic patient care. Very few patients "code" in radiology--those that are that sick often have a nurse, doc, PA etc as escort (at least in all the hospitals I have been in). Should a patient truly crash, you call an inhouse code. You would provide basic CPR until a code team arrives.

It's the same thing with babies, except they call it a failure to thrive, and that is not grounds for a law suit. The only thing I can think of is that even in unconscious patients we were taught to treat them as they were awake, with regard to privacy and even a little chit chat and explaining the procedures that you will be doing.

How do I transport a patient with a broken hip across the country ?
Q. My mother broke her hip on a cruise ship she is being transported to a CA state hospital and will possibly need to have surgery. We live in OH and want her transported from CA to OH when the time comes to have surgery at home. How would someone get a patient like this on an airplane to get home?
