Patient Opt-Out

Jersey Health Connect Patient Opt-Out

Jersey Health Connect offers you a way to share your health information among participating doctors’ offices, hospitals, labs, radiology centers, and other healthcare providers through secure, electronic means. The purpose is for participating caregivers to have the benefit of the most recent information available from your other participating caregivers when taking care of you.

When you opt-out of JHC, doctors and nurses will not be able to obtain your health information through our network to use while treating you. Your physician or other treating providers will still be able to receive your lab results, radiology reports, and other data sent directly to them that they may have previously received by fax, mail, or other electronic communications. Public health reporting, where applicable, in accordance with law such as the reporting of infectious diseases to public health officials, will also occur through the JHC after you decide to opt out.
