Conditions Governing Access

Some content in Box 8 and Box 9 is currently restricted. Materials found in Box 8: Folders 01-16, Box 8: Folders 19-24, and Box 9: Folders 01-10 are restricted for all users. These materials pertain to disaster drills conducted at Blue Ridge Hospital during the 1970s. Employees of Blue Ridge Hospital posed as mock patients during the drills and these records contain some personally identifiable information (PII). Disaster drill assessment materials also contain actual patient names and other information protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).

Note that the materials identified as "medical records" in these folders were created in the course of disaster drill exercises. They appear to describe fictional accounts of patient diagnosis and treatment; however, these materials remain restricted because they contain PII related to the individuals posing as patients during the drill, whose identities have not been fully confirmed.
