Issues in Modifying Electronic Health Records

 
If you are moving to electronic health records you will be creating sound legal records. It is important to understand that what you are putting together needs to represent the history of the patient relationship to maintain the record’s integrity. While it is a record of what decisions were made regarding the patient’s care and the patient’s payment of service, it is also your “legal testimony” as to what happened when the patient arrived and what actions were taken in the situation that a legal situation arises. The health record must be maintained in compliance with HIPAA regulations, accreditation, professional practice, and legal standards. In this 35-minute video our speaker, Jim Sheldon-Dean, discusses these details as well as the right practices for changes and modifications to electronic health records, and electronic exchange of records.
