You have been asked by the Privacy Officer of your facility to develop a tracking tool for logging requests for and disclosure of personal health information (PHI) by release of information (ROI) staff. Please create a tool in Excel and write a report describing the process of developing such a system. Your report should include:

 An Excel template that includes all tracking fields and the rationale for tracking each of these specific items. You may use the hospital ROI forms that were linked in the Learning Guide, or those in use by your own facility, to get an idea of the kinds of things you may wish to track.

You may need to conduct additional research to help you complete this assignment. You should expect to build your policy and procedure documents from the legislation in your jurisdiction. You may also use the policies and procedures at your facility for reference. Do not simply copy a facility’s P & P into your paper! You are expected to show a thorough understanding of the subject and to use your own creativity to design the documents.
