I’m looking at agencies for 24-care at home. The agency wants to do a needs assessment and psych evaluation, before they decide which caregivers would fit. Makes sense.
But can anything bad happen by doing the evaluations? And does it go on the medical record?
I would ask the agency to whom they would share this evaluation. It would need to be someone with explicit HIPAA authorization.
“I would ask the agency to whom they would share this evaluation.”
I’m glad to hear it’s only for internal use.
