Description
Overview
This webinar covers basic perspectives of medical record keeping and reviews examples of content, identifies requirements for retention, and examines revisions to closed records. Moving beyond the privacy mandates of HIPAA, this webinar focuses on these three important aspects of the medical records themselves. This webinar also reviews special rules regarding electronic medical records.
Each health care profession has differing requirements for record-keeping under state law. Special rules now exist regarding the confidentiality, security, retention, and disposition of electronic medical records. These government legal requirements for records content and retention are contrasted with private requirements, such as those required by private insurance companies for malpractice insurance for individual health care practitioners.
Finally, what happens to medical records when the health care practitioner leaves the practice or dies? An innovative and new concept in this webinar will show you how to set up a records retention and transfer for the safe and secure handling of patient medical records when an individual health care practitioner leaves the practice, is injured or ill, or dies.
