HIPAA Authorization / Medical Records Release

Prepare a federal-baseline authorization for a defined use or disclosure of medical records, with explicit scope, expiration, revocation, and sensitive-record limits. The workflow keeps records release separate from healthcare decision-making and fails closed for unsupported sensitive categories.
