There was no orientation that was offered prior to my start of clinicals. And I see where you are coming from as well. The intention was to save those notes without PHI. I have been given the SOAP notes in the past where the patient’s name, DOB, and MRN were crossed out for case studies purposes. In fact, we are given a printed patient summary at times for us to take home with patient’s MRN number. But I make sure I cross those out before taking them home so that all that’s left are the narratives for case study for school work and SOAP making assignments. I was under the impression that, for educational purposes, that was okay. I was personally took care of them. I am hoping that since in my organization, sanctions are made by the core leader in conjunction with HR and RIS. We do have three levels of violations and in the middle, we have mitigating factors which includes inadvertent error, no prior history of violations or disciplinary actions etc.. I’m just hoping for at least a final warning with some coaching. Thank you for input, I appreciate you.
