I am enrolling subjects in a clinical study. If adverse events occur and my subjects are treated by a non-JHM provider, how may I obtain information about the subjects’ treatment?
A subject must sign an Authorization that allows the non-JHU provider to disclose PHI to you for the purposes of research involving that subject. It is helpful to obtain the subject’s express permission for such a disclosure in the Authorization form that the subject signs for your research study. The non-JHM provider may rely upon such Authorization; alternatively, the provider may ask the patient to sign the provider’s own Authorization, or may disclose the records directly to the patient.
