All areas of the Student
Health Center (SHC) maintain
strict rules of
confidentiality.
The
medical record is a document
that is treated in a
strictly confidential manner
and is protected from loss,
tampering, alteration,
destruction and unauthorized
or inadvertent disclosure of
information.
Student
records, including student
health histories and
treatment, require a signed
release from the student or
a court order before they
are released to an outside
facility, provider, spouse
or to the student.
Certain communicable
diseases, such as measles,
must be reported to the Solano
County Department of
Health & Social Services.
Specific medical record
content may be shared in
cases in which legal
statutes require reports to
be made. These include, but
are not limited to
reportable diseases, gunshot
wounds, assault, and child
abuse.
Health reports are not given
to University faculty or
staff without written
consent of the student.
Students with serious or
chronic conditions are
encouraged to maintain a
current health history form
on file at the SHC.
Students may receive copies
of his/her record by
completing the Authorization
for the Release of Medical
Information form as outlined
in the medical record
release policy. There will
be a nominal fee.
