Judge Santini's self-executing standing order authorizing use of protected health information (PHI) in every 457th District Court suit that uses it: all 'Litigation Participants' (parties, counsel of record and their firm staff, testifying and consulting experts, other litigation-support and copy services, witnesses, mediators, arbitrators, and the Court) may disclose, receive, and use PHI in the litigation without further authorization or order under HIPAA, the Texas Medical Privacy Act, or other law. Any PHI filed or offered in court must have the patient's (1) name, (2) birthdate, (3) SSN, (4) driver's-license/government-ID number, (5) address, and (6) telephone number redacted; the District Clerk may, without further order, restrict an unredacted filing and require a conformed redacted copy, and the Court may reject an unredacted document offered in court or require a conformed copy; any PHI document offered in court (admitted or not, redacted or not) is sealed for exhibit-filing and the appellate record. The order authorizes PHI use only for the pending litigation, and notes that PHI received under it is subject to electronic disclosure.
