Open Urgent Care in Davie, FL

At Quick Family Urgent Care, patient privacy and confidentiality are top priorities. We adhere to strict ethical and legal standards, including HIPAA, to safeguard sensitive medical information and ensure all data is handled with the utmost discretion and care.

We safeguard all Protected Health Information (PHI) by following strict protocols for collecting, processing, storing, and sharing patient data. This includes personal details, medical history, diagnoses, treatment plans, and prescriptions. Only authorized staff access and electronic health records are secured with advanced cybersecurity measures to ensure confidentiality and prevent breaches.

We comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which mandates:

• Access restrictions to authorized healthcare professionals only
• Documentation of all PHI disclosures
• Patient notification of privacy policies and rights

Patients also play a crucial role in protecting their confidentiality:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Understand our clinic’s privacy policies
• Limit disclosure of personal health information
• Report any suspected breaches to us right away.

Staff Training and Supervision:

We train our staff extensively on patient confidentiality:

• Emphasizing the importance of maintaining privacy
• Establishing clear protocols for handling PHI
• Monitoring and auditing staff compliance

Physical and Technological Safeguards

We implement physical and technological measures to protect PHI:

• Secure storage of medical records
• Encrypted electronic health records systems
• Controlled access to computer terminals
• Frequent software upgrades to stop illegal access

Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement:

Regular compliance audits ensure we adhere to confidentiality standards. HIPAA violations can result in significant penalties and reputational damage.

Exceptions to Patient Confidentiality:

In certain situations, patient confidentiality may be legally overridden, such as:

• Emergencies involving imminent harm to the patient or others
• Reporting of communicable diseases
• Court orders or law enforcement requests

At Quick Family Urgent Care, Dr. Diana Sood and her team of professionals prioritize your health. If during your visit, our healthcare provider determines that your condition requires more advanced care than what we can provide in our urgent care setting, we will ensure you receive the appropriate treatment.

Our initial assessment involves checking your symptoms, medical history, and overall condition. If your condition is severe or complicated, we recommend that you be transferred to a hospital or specialized medical facility, especially if it requires specialized equipment or expertise that we do not have at our center.

In life-threatening cases, we will call an ambulance to transport you to the emergency room. For non-life-threatening conditions requiring specialized care, we will refer you to a specialist and assist with scheduling. We will ensure clear communication with the specialist to ensure seamless continued care. We will also provide instructions on managing your condition, including medication or symptom monitoring. Your stay at the hospital or specialist’s facility will depend on your condition, and once stabilized, you will be discharged with follow-up care instructions.

When planning a visit to Quick Family Urgent Care, being prepared can greatly enhance your experience, making it smoother and more efficient. Here are several essentials you should bring along:

3. Detailed Description of Symptoms and Medical History: Note your symptoms, including onset, severity, changes, and relevant medical or travel history to ensure nothing is overlooked during your appointment.

4. Personal Items and Payment Information: Bring personal items like a phone charger, entertainment, and comfortable clothing. A snack or drink may help during a wait. Don’t forget a payment method for any fees not covered by insurance.
