The Right to Request an Amendment
Captions available
The idea
Patients have a right to ask the practice to amend health information they believe is wrong or incomplete.
In practice
The practice reviews the request and responds; it may accept or deny it, following the rule's procedures.
Where people slip
Never change a record yourself because a patient asked; send the request through the practice's process.
