I went to the medical center for an appointment and was put into a room where there is a computer was on and some other person medical records were on the screen. I found this disturbing and so i called UCI and asked how the internal patient medical record information is handled. I was told any person with in the UCI system or outside the system that had been vetted have uninterrupted access to all medical records.  This includes third parties so I requested to lock down my medical information and limit the exchange of with in there system According to HIPPA I needed to give them written permission for any one to access my recorded. As of know they have not been able to do this. This means that Dr., RN, LVN, office staff, students at all levels,  fellowships from all over the world and meany others have access I don't think this is right. I will update as new info comes in.
