SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The Electronic Health Record System is used by the NASA 
Occupational Health Program to generate records of medical care, 
diagnosis, treatment, surveillance examinations (e.g., flight 
certification, special purpose and health maintenance), and exposure 
records (e.g., hazardous materials and ionizing radiation). Management 
and utilization of the Electronic Health Record System provides 
necessary supportive clerical services for the Occupational Health 
Program. Occupational Health clinics create, maintain and securely 
archive digital medical records and physical examination records of (1) 
NASA civil service employees and applicants; (2) other Agency civil 
service and military employees working at NASA; (3) active or retired 
astronauts and active astronaut family members; (4) International Space 
Partner personnel, their families, or other space flight personnel on 
temporary or extended duty at NASA; (5) onsite contractor personnel who 
receive job-related examinations under the NASA Occupational Health 
Program, have work-related mishaps or accidents, or visit clinics for 
emergency or first-aid treatment; and (6) visitors to NASA Centers who 
use clinics for emergency or first-aid treatment or who apply for use 
of NASA facilities. The legal medical record is the documentation of 
health care services provided to an individual; it is used for clinical 
decision making, following accurate recording of observations, actions 
and analysis of diagnostic tests. The legal medical record in this 
instance is digital recorded data collected and used for providing 
healthcare at the NASA Occupational Health clinics. Additionally, the 
medical record is used as a tool for evaluating the adequacy, 
appropriateness and quality of care. Such records contain standard 
clinical information resulting from physical examinations, laboratory 
and other relevant diagnostic tests, and medical history surveys; 
screening examination results; immunization records; administration of 
medications prescribed by private/personal or NASA physicians; 
consultation records; and hazardous exposure as well as other health 
hazard/abatement data.
    NASA collects, archives, and secures information from individuals 
visiting the Occupational Health clinics requiring routine medical 
examination in compliance with the following regulations:
