Frequently Asked Questions
How do we maintain privacy with so many walk-ins?
Use patient numbers instead of names when possible. Position sign-in areas for privacy and use cover sheets. Train staff to speak quietly. Our policies include specific guidance for high-volume urgent care environments while maintaining efficient patient flow.
Do we need to send records to every patient's PCP?
HIPAA allows sharing for treatment purposes without additional authorization. Best practice is to offer patients the option to have records sent to their PCP and document their preference. You should have a standard process for care coordination.
How do we train staff with high turnover?
Implement a standardized onboarding HIPAA training program that all new staff complete before patient contact. Use quick refresher modules for temporary staff. Our platform includes rapid-deployment training suitable for urgent care staffing patterns.
