QUESTION AND ANSWER OF THE MONTH: Question: Should a physician or surgeon obtain information from the medical record of a patient in a hospital and release the infomation to a third party who is not in- volved in the medical care of the patient, without the consent of the patient or a court order? Answer: No. Authorities for this assertion are section 48 of Regulation 729 under The Public Hospitals Act, and a recent decision of the Health Disciplines Board reported in OHA Report on Legislation No, 508. The Health Disciplines Board, which is empowered to review dispositions of complaints by the complaints committee of a helath discipline, recently "confirmed a decision of the Complaints Committee of The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario to caution a physician "+e. to provide medical information in future to third par- ties only with the written pemission of the patient or with a court order". The assumption by the physician that the third party had obtained the patient's consent was considered by the Board to be insufficient. from The Page - from the Executive Director of the Ontario Hospital Association.
