Notice of Participation
Your doctor or healthcare provider may have joined the South Carolina eHealth Alliance (SCeHA). This notice informs you about how your electronic health information may be used or shared, and with whom it may be shared.
About SCeHA
SCeHA enables your doctor to share your medical history, including labs, medications, allergies, diagnoses, and procedures, with other healthcare providers involved in your care. It is a secure network ensuring your personal health information is available to your doctors and other healthcare providers when needed.
By allowing your doctors and other healthcare providers to use and share your personal health information through SCeHA:
- Your doctor will have more information to make informed healthcare decisions during your appointments.
- Your doctor will be aware of tests or services you have already received, avoiding repeated or unnecessary tests or services.
- Your healthcare providers can better coordinate your care, saving you time and money by reducing redundant tests, doctor visits, paperwork, and appointment delays.
- Your health information is available when and where it is needed, whether for routine visits or emergencies.
How Your Electronic Health Information May Be Used or Shared
Your privacy and personal health information are protected by federal and state laws, which also govern how your electronic health information is used or shared through SCeHA. Your healthcare providers will use and share your electronic health information with other providers involved in your care to provide, coordinate, or manage your healthcare and related services.
SCeHA members include licensed healthcare providers in South Carolina, such as medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, optometrists, podiatrists, pharmacists, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners. They also include organizations like hospitals, ambulatory surgical facilities, home health agencies, pharmacies, case management providers, telemonitoring providers, health information exchanges, and organizations where eligible individuals practice.
