Palimpsest

The notice page

put [palimpsest_notice] on a page. It shows the notice in effect today, its effective date, a printable copy, and every earlier version with the dates it was in effect.

The footer link on every page, once you choose the page.

The door

a draft goes live only when it says every thing 164.520(b)(1) lists - the header statement, uses for treatment, payment and operations, the rights (restrictions, confidential communications, access, amendment, accounting, a paper copy), the practice's duties including breach notice, how to complain to the practice and to HHS with no retaliation, a contact with a phone number - plus the Part 2 substance use disorder statement from 16 February 2026 for a practice that receives those records. It also refuses a backdated effective date and the accessibility mistakes a page of words can make (no headings, a skipped heading level, an image with no alt text, a "click here" link).

Versions are never edited

A change is a new draft with a new effective date and a one-line note of what changed; the editor shows the paragraphs added and taken out. Each old version shows the date it may be deleted: six years after it was last in effect (164.530(j)).

No patient information is asked for or stored. Uninstalling deletes nothing.
