• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 16: HEALTH
• Art. 38: HEALTH REGISTRIES
• Ch. 2: Cancer Registry

Text

Researchers may, with the approval of the state
department, use the names of individual cancer patients when
requesting additional information for research purposes or soliciting an
individual patient's participation in a research project. However, if a
researcher requests additional information for an individual cancer
patient's participation in a research project, the researcher must first
obtain the oral or written consent of the patient's attending physician.
If the consent of the patient's attending physician is obtained, the
researcher must then obtain the individual cancer patient's written
consent by having the patient complete a release of confidential
medical information form.
