- HIV and AIDS
- Non acute care settings such as Home health records or any other

- The nature/ content of the information in the record (besides
the normal medical information, there is also therapeutic mental
and emotional information) which causes the records to be large and
thicker
- Specialized records allow for specialized professionals.
Paraprofessionals to document in the records
- Specialized records have stricter confidentiality and privacy
requirements.
