so that all hospitals who must upgrade to 2014 Certified EHR Technology
will have adequate time to implement their new Certified EHR systems.

Patient Portals & Minors
Parents as Personal Representatives
• Personal representative has the right of the individual
• Rights should be cut off at age of majority

when a minor can consent under state law
• Personal representatives and minors can pose significant challenges to the
organization
• Will the organization require authorization before establishing proxy rights to the portal
• How will the organization handle revocation of authorizations? Restriction requests?
• How will the organization ensure parent’s access is revoked once patient reaches age of
majority?
Patient Portals & Minors
What can the organization do?
•
•
•
Ensure compliance with applicable Federal & State laws regarding minors
Consult internal HIPAA privacy liaison to ensure portal access/rights are consistent with
Federal & State laws and other organizational practices
Approaches by other Healthcare Providers:
•
•
For patients under the age of 14, parents are able to access the portal with parental signed request
For patients aged 14-18,
•
•
•
•
Providers can withhold information if they believe it would jeopardize the health of their
patient in accordance with HIPAA privacy regulations
•
•
Require the child to sign a release form
Restrict parental access to certain sensitive data as required by applicable laws
Restrict portal access for minors ages 14-18
Consult internal HIPAA privacy liaison
Also note that there are differences for minors who are emancipated
