回复：回复：回复：急问:关于medical records privacy的问题

請您讀一下這個資料
http://medicalrecordrights.georgetown.edu/stateguides/nj/nj.pdf
(特別是 PAGE 20,您可以利用許多資源來尋求答覆)

同時依據 NJ (§30:4-24.3)
http://law.onecle.com/new-jersey/30-institutions-and-agencies/4-24.3.html

Medical records confidential but may be disclosed to patient, upon court order, and other exceptions

所以老貓的了解是如果您要求,對方應該給予您所有醫療紀錄一個副本或是相關的電子文件,同時為方不能將您的資料隨意洩漏給予其他人,(除非有特別的例外,在(§30:4-24所描述的情況)但是沒有規定說對方不能保存您的醫療紀錄.同時依法對方需要保存您的紀錄至少七年...

A doctor has to keep a patient’s medical records for seven years. After that, the physician can destroy them. There is no requirement in the law that requires the physician to notify a patient prior to destroying the records. It is recommended that you request a copy of your medical records when you are changing physicians
