Access to Patient Records / Information for
Research Purposes |
| |
Access to patient information for the
purpose of research requires the
ADHB
research approval processes and ethics
approval to be obtained the same way as
other research activities do. There is a
Board Policy:
Access to Patient Information
(December 2002) is not just for research but
it is important that the ADHB policy on
access are understood and complied with.
(This linked document is for
internal ADHB access only, for external
researchers please contact your ADHB contact
or co-investigator for details).
For ADHB researchers, your current
CRIS
access will enable you to review the patient
records for the purpose stated in your
ethics application. If patient records are
those not normally accessible with your CRIS
permissions, these requests are to be
actioned through Patient Information
Services. Send a request to Clinical Records
Manager to begin the process to extend your
permissions.
If you are a non-ADHB researcher a
request form needs to be completed. Once you
completed this form, obtained the relevant
signatures please send it to Research
Office, Level 14, Building 1, Auckland City
Hospital, Private Bag 92024, Grafton,
Auckland.
Please note, in some circumstances a fee may
be charged to access or retrieve records,
particularly if retrieval of old records
that are only in hard copy are
required.
