Medical Records

A confidential medical record will be kept of the care and services you receive. According to federal, state and local regulations, only the physicians and staff members assigned to your care and other health care professionals will be able to review these records. Trinitas complies with all applicable requirements of the Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its related regulations. The information that is collected about you is stored securely and is accessed only by authorized staff; this includes password security for information stored electronically.
