you might want to re evaluate your email policies. most emails (including  
AOL) are NOT considered a secure method of communications for identifiable  
patient information as required by HIPAA and other privacy laws. Most big  
hospitals (Barnes Jewish is the one I'm most familiar with), either have 
secured  web sites or Virtual Private Networks that you need to log into, not 
only with  your personal id and password, but with a multi digit hexadecimal 
code provided  via a key fob that you keep on your person. That code changes 
periodically and  automatically.

It's the same reason why you should not send personal financial information 
 via email (either body or attachment).

A dedicated fax unit, preferably one with a 'handshake' protocol to confirm 
 that you are authorized to send/receive faxes, should be cheaper and still 
meet  statutory requirements.

We  have an email address set up for providers. They email their date of 
service,  patient name and any specifics they desire to know.

They are emailed  back with the info. 

We also do trauma lunches where cases are  presented and providers can 
attend and speak to the pre hospital care and  findings.

Subject: Pre-hospital trauma follow up

Does anyone have  any current process in place for pre-hospital providers 
to 
ollow up on  trauma patients that were cared for in the field. What are / 
may be 
he  issues that would have to be considered (including hippa) How do you 
would  
ou structure this program. This would be intended for QA / QI and to give  
eedback to EMS providers primarily. What are the unintended  consequences?  
What 
hould be included in the feedback as a learning  tool v just telling what 
the 
atients injuries were. 

hock Trauma -  R Adams... had one years ago  before 1999 that would allow 
EMS to  
uerry what happened to their patient whenafter transported. While pretty  
basic 
n informationI thought it was helpful in the couple times I filled  out the 
form 
nd allowed me to reflect on my treatment...  email me  directly or place 
omments on list. Thanks.
