A Reminder and a Warning Regarding Confidentiality of Patient Records  
The Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners has adopted the following position regarding patient records and the release of information from those records.  The Board considers it "unprofessional conduct" to release any information about a patient without the written permission of the owner.  This includes providing vaccination information to kennels or groomers or forwarding  medical records to other clinics.  Here's the Board Position Statement:
Permission and Requests for Release of Patient Records and Other Information Under Rules 1730-01-.13(6) and 1730-01-.18

In addition to the “written permission” requirement under rule 1730-01-.13(6), requests for records under Rule 1730-01-.18 must also be in writing. For purposes of Rules 1730-01-.13(6) and 1730-01-.18, written permission may be given, and written requests may be made, by any handwritten means, or by electronic mail, facsimile, or text message.
Adopted on August 15, 2013.
