Physicians ( and advanced practice clinicians):
Are you permitted to access your medical files at work?
My employer recently changed its policy. We can no longer read/access our medical files. Nor can we review the files of our children under the age of 13.
Previously we could review our own files, and those of our children age 12 and under. We were never permitted to review the files of any other family member, nor of our children age 13 and over, and we were not permitted to 'act' in our files - ie, write notes, write prescriptions, etc.
What is the policy at your workplace? What do you think of this policy?
I find it condescending, infantilizing, infuriating, emasculating, and insulting. But they didn't ask my opinion.
Am I totally off base?
