For legal professionals and healthcare providers, understanding the primary purpose of a Release of Information (ROI) form is vital for managing sensitive data responsibly.
By signing an authorization to release information, a party is consenting to provide another party with access to otherwise confidential information or records about an individual. However, signing a release doesn't mean the complete loss of confidentiality because most authorization forms are subject to limitations.
Begin by specifying your name, the entity authorized to disclose information, and the individuals or entities you authorize to receive it. Indicate the specific information and purpose for which it will be disclosed, add an expiration date or event, and sign and date the form to confirm your consent.
Some common synonyms of disclose are betray, divulge, reveal, and tell. While all these words mean "to make known what has been or should be concealed," disclose may imply a discovering but more often an imparting of information previously kept secret.
