Things to Know When You Arrive

Outside Access to Your Data - With the prevalence of electronic medical record-keeping, you can assume that any information you give the front desk can be accessed by other entities.

"Privacy" - Your definition of privacy may be different than the definition held by the receptionist, the hospital, or the organization. 

Know Your Rights - You may know more about your health care rights than the receptionist, the hospital, or the organization and might receive push-back when exercising those rights. 

Be Prepared - Most importantly, the hospital may put you in the position of choosing between either exercising those rights or receiving treatment from the facility.

Share Wisely - Be cautious when asked to sign or fill out documents on an iPad. This is often a tool for data collection unnecessary for patient care.
