Revelan qui\u00e9n tom\u00f3 las decisiones, qu\u00e9 pruebas se realizaron y c\u00f3mo cambi\u00f3 su condici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los registros funcionan mejor junto con otros documentos que respalden una demanda por negligencia m\u00e9dica. Tener un conjunto completo de ellos desde el inicio te brinda a usted y a su abogado un punto de partida claro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Su derecho legal a los registros m\u00e9dicos en Illinois<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La ley estatal y la federal conceden a los pacientes de Illinois el derecho a ver y copiar sus registros m\u00e9dicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ley de registros de salud en Illinois<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">En virtud de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/legislation\/ilcs\/fulltext.asp?DocName=073500050K8-2001\">735 ILCS 5\/8-2001<\/a>, Los hospitales, las residencias de ancianos, las cl\u00ednicas y los profesionales individuales de la salud deben permitirle examinar y copiar sus registros. El mismo derecho se extiende a su abogado autorizado y a cualquier persona que tenga una autorizaci\u00f3n v\u00e1lida que usted haya firmado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aquest dret inclou la vostra hist\u00f2ria cl\u00ednica, els gr\u00e0fics, les notes al llit i les imatges, i no nom\u00e9s el resum de la visita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Su derecho de acceso federal a HIPAA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La norma federal sobre privacidad en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-45\/subtitle-A\/subchapter-C\/part-164\/subpart-E\/section-164.524\">45 CFR 164.524<\/a> Le otorga el derecho de acceder a la informaci\u00f3n contenida en el conjunto de registros designado para usted, que generalmente incluye registros m\u00e9dicos y de facturaci\u00f3n. Los proveedores deben presentar los registros en la forma solicitada por usted cuando puedan hacerlo f\u00e1cilmente, y pueden cobrar \u00fanicamente una tarifa razonable basada en los costos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tambi\u00e9n puedes pedir por escrito a un proveedor que env\u00ede tus registros directamente a otra persona, como tu abogado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reglas especiales para los registros de salud mental<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los registros de salud mental y discapacidad del desarrollo se rigen por una ley independiente de Illinois. De acuerdo con la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilga.gov\/documents\/legislation\/ilcs\/documents\/074001100K4.htm\">Ley sobre confidencialidad en materia de salud mental y discapacidad del desarrollo<\/a>, Las personas mayores de 12 a\u00f1os que reciben servicios pueden inspeccionar y copiar su propio expediente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los padres o tutores de ni\u00f1os menores de 12 a\u00f1os tambi\u00e9n tienen acceso. En el caso de adolescentes de entre 12 y 17 a\u00f1os, el acceso parental puede depender de si el menor se opone a ello y del criterio del psic\u00f3logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo solicitar sus registros m\u00e9dicos en Illinois paso a paso<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Las siguientes etapas te ayudar\u00e1n a obtener una visi\u00f3n completa en lugar de una versi\u00f3n parcial del archivo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enumere todos los hospitales, cl\u00ednicas, m\u00e9dicos y farmacias involucrados en su atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consulte a cada proveedor su ficha completa, y no solo el resumen que aparece en su portal de pacientes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presente su solicitud por escrito, firme la misma y entregue la copia al administrador de la instalaci\u00f3n o al departamento de registros, o al profesional que la haya realizado.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incluya su nombre completo, fecha de nacimiento, a\u00f1os de servicio y si desea copias en papel o en formato electr\u00f3nico.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guarde una copia de cada solicitud y escriba la fecha en la que cada proveedor la recibi\u00f3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revisen los registros cuando lleguen y anoten cualquier fecha, p\u00e1gina o resultado del examen que haya faltado.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qu\u00e9 registros solicitar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los registros hospitalarios a menudo se dividen en secciones que guardan diferentes departamentos. Al hacer su solicitud, pregunte espec\u00edficamente por:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ordenes del m\u00e9dico, notas de progreso y informes de consulta<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notas de enfermer\u00eda y hojas de flujo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registros de administraci\u00f3n de medicamentos<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Informes operatorios y registros de anestesia<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resultados de los an\u00e1lisis de laboratorio, informes de patolog\u00eda y archivos de im\u00e1genes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listas de monitoreo fetal para el cuidado de parto y parto<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registros del departamento de emergencias y res\u00famenes de los pacientes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registros de facturaci\u00f3n y mensajes del portal del paciente<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Muchos sistemas de registro electr\u00f3nico tambi\u00e9n registran cu\u00e1ndo se realizan o modifican las entradas. Si algo en tu registro parece incongruente, esos datos de actividad pueden ser importantes m\u00e1s adelante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfCu\u00e1nto puede cobrar un proveedor por las copias en Illinois?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los proveedores de Illinois no pueden fijar ning\u00fan precio que quieran por las copias. El art\u00edculo 8-2001 limita los cargos aplicando las siguientes reglas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Una tarifa por gesti\u00f3n del pedido, m\u00e1s el coste real de env\u00edo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cargos escalonados por p\u00e1gina para copias en papel que disminuyen a medida que aumenta el n\u00famero de p\u00e1ginas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Copias electr\u00f3nicas con un coste de la mitad de la tarifa por p\u00e1gina en papel<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costo razonable para art\u00edculos que una fotocopiadora est\u00e1ndar no puede duplicar, como los films de rayos X<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los montos en d\u00f3lares se ajustan autom\u00e1ticamente seg\u00fan una secci\u00f3n relacionada de la ley, por lo que las cifras actuales pueden diferir de la versi\u00f3n original del estatuto. La tarifa de gesti\u00f3n no se aplica a un representante personal que solicite los registros de un paciente fallecido. Tambi\u00e9n se ofrecen copias gratuitas cuando los registros acrediten cierta discapacidad de un veterano, una solicitud de Seguro Social o ayuda a los ancianos, ciegos o discapacitados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00bfQu\u00e9 sucede si el hospital o el m\u00e9dico demoran o se niegan?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esperar los resultados es estresante, pero la ley establece plazos estrictos y tienes opciones si un proveedor no cumple con ellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plazos que los proveedores deben cumplir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Los proveedores de Illinois deben cumplir con una solicitud escrita dentro de los 30 d\u00edas posteriores a su recepci\u00f3n. Un proveedor que necesite m\u00e1s tiempo debe enviar una explicaci\u00f3n escrita y una fecha de entrega dentro de esos 30 d\u00edas, y dicha solicitud no podr\u00e1 exceder los 60 d\u00edas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">De acuerdo con la HIPAA, el proveedor que niegue el acceso debe explicar la decisi\u00f3n por escrito. Ese aviso debe describir cualquier recurso disponible y c\u00f3mo presentar una queja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sus opciones cuando los registros no llegan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Algunos caminos siguen abiertos si un proveedor se queda sin combustible o se niega a seguir adelante:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Env\u00ede un correo electr\u00f3nico con un seguimiento escrito que mencione la fecha de su solicitud original.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Presentar una queja ante la Oficina de Derechos Civiles del HHS, que <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hhs.gov\/hipaa\/for-professionals\/privacy\/guidance\/access\/index.html\">explica los derechos de acceso de los pacientes a HIPAA<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>P\u00eddale a un abogado que env\u00ede la solicitud en su nombre con una autorizaci\u00f3n firmada.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pida a un tribunal que aplique la ley de Illinois, en virtud de la cual a un proveedor que no cumpliera el plazo se le puede ordenar pagar gastos y honorarios razonables de abogados.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solicite los registros a trav\u00e9s del proceso de descubrimiento despu\u00e9s de que se presente una demanda judicial.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Una vez que se presenta un caso, <a href=\"https:\/\/ilcourtsaudio.blob.core.windows.net\/antilles-resources\/resources\/534a469e-8a1e-454d-833d-160e60faf8b2\/Rule%20214.pdf\">Regla 214 de la Corte Suprema de Illinois<\/a> Permite solicitudes escritas de documentos, incluidas las informaciones almacenadas electr\u00f3nicamente.

Si se proporciona un aviso escrito previo a ese per\u00edodo de tiempo sobre la existencia de un litigio pendiente, el hospital podr\u00eda estar obligado a conservar los registros durante un per\u00edodo m\u00e1s largo de acuerdo con la Ley de Licenciamiento de Hospitales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C\u00f3mo puede ayudarle la Ley Conboy a obtener sus registros<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuestro equipo prepara solicitudes escritas para cada proveedor, vigila los plazos de 30 y 60 d\u00edas y se encarga de hacer un seguimiento cuando los registros se retrasan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuando lleguen los registros, revisamos si faltan p\u00e1ginas, si hay vac\u00edos en las fechas o si los resultados de los ex\u00e1menes no est\u00e1n completos.

Los portales de pacientes suelen mostrar los resultados de las pruebas y los res\u00famenes de la visita, pero pueden omitir las notas de enfermer\u00eda, los informes del m\u00e9dico y otras partes del historial completo.
