Instructions for using the forms are contained in Appendix B to the rule.

The purpose of the standard forms is to improve care coordination for patients across multiple providers by making it easier to securely share protected health information. Providers are not required to use the forms, but a properly executed form that adequately identifies the individual must be accepted by any person or governmental entity in Ohio specified on the form as a valid authorization for the use or disclosure of the individual’s protected health information.

Providers must begin accepting properly executed standard authorization forms on February 2, 2019.
