All hospitals and clinics have different regulations when it comes to how long they have to keep medical records on siteit can be 2 years or 5 years. I used to work for the VA Hospital and we kept them on our shelves for 3 years after last activity. After that, we sent them to storage. Since it is a Veterans hospital and medical records meant alot more, we kept them in storgage forever. If the facility you are at does not have them on site, them may have them stored somewhere at a different location.

Your HIPPA rights have been violated. possibilities are high, the archives have been checked by capacity of notebook and the "nurse chum" might might desire to examine in under her assigned password. hire an criminal expert and have him hint this strategies. which would be your information. Nurses could be fired for checking archives of a affected person that they weren't in contact of their care and the wellness center is libel for her action.
