The Legal Risk Score of a Consent to Release Medical Records Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The release of medical records can expose sensitive personal health information, which could be misused if not properly safeguarded.
- Once consent is given, the scope of information released is broad, including medical history, diagnoses, and treatment details, which might be more information than the patient anticipates sharing.
- The document allows for withdrawal of consent at any time, but it does not specify the process or immediate effect of withdrawal, potentially leading to a lag during which information could still be shared.
