Report ID: PSETS0000093218, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: WESTERN NEW YORK HCS - 528A4
Issue:
During a Release of Information (ROI) audit it was noted that one clerk released 7332 protected info without proper/valid authorization to do so. The authorization was for treatment by a non-VA provider but did not address 7332 info. This was not an emergent situation that would allow release without authorization
Outcome:
08/12/13: Veteran A will be sent a notification letter.
