(5) the LSRH has made a reasonable effort to ensure
the system sends the notifications to all applicable post-acute care
services providers and suppliers, as well as to any of the following
practitioners and entities, which need to receive notification of
the patient's status for treatment, care coordination, or quality
improvement purposes:
(A) the patient's established primary care practitioner;
(B) the patient's established primary care practice
group or entity; or
(C) other practitioner, or other practice group or
entity, identified by the patient as the practitioner, or practice
group or entity, primarily responsible for their care.
(i) An LSRH shall provide medical records in the form
and format requested by the individual or their legally authorized
representative, if it is readily producible in such form and format.
This includes in an electronic form or format when such medical records
are maintained electronically or if not, in a readable hard copy form
or such other form and format as agreed to by the LSRH and the individual.
(j) An LSRH shall provide records within a reasonable
timeframe. The LSRH must not frustrate the legitimate efforts of individuals
to gain access to their own medical records and must actively seek
to meet these requests as quickly as its record keeping system permits.
