Will ATHN Protect A Patient’s Personal Health Information?

ATHN recognizes and respects a patient’s right to protect the confidentiality of their medical information, to determine who can access their personal information and to choose to participate in a research program such as ATHN, or not.  Be assured that a patient’s personal health information will continue to be protected by the Hemophilia Treatment Center chosen for clinical care.  A patient’s information is not automatically shared with ATHN or any other entity. The healthcare provider maintains and uses its medical record to manage a patient’s care.  That record, whether stored on paper or electronically, cannot be viewed or shared with others without the patient’s consent.
