Question Details

You are a medical transcriptionist for a psychiatric office. You have just enrolled your 2-year-old child in an at-home daycare. You are filing transcribed reports when you run across the name of your new child caregiver. You are immediately concerned that you have left your child with a person who may have a serious mental illness. You think it is okay to look at the file for your own information, as long as you do not disclose the information to anybody else, as you do have access to all of the charts. Is this correct? Why or why not?
