Hi - We're establishing a program to provide brief interventions for alcohol
abuse for our trauma patients. One of the many screening options is to draw a
BA on all of our patients and, if not drawn for reasons of medical necessity,
sequester that information outside the medical record as a means of keeping it
non-discoverable. I'm wondering if anyone doing this could contact me on or
off-list with specifics about how this is accomplished in their facility.
Thanks, and happy weekend to all! John Bleicher
