WEBINAR DETAILS

Mismanaged, misplaced, or missing medical and business records are more than a nuisance. They are a liability for all hospice and home care providers. Agencies are required to preserve, protect, produce, and purge the following types of records: 

  • Protected health information (PHI)
  • Electronic protected health information (ePHI)
  • Personally identifiable information (PII)
  • Any other business-critical information in compliance with HIPAA, federal legislation, state data breach notification laws, and e-discovery guidelines

Best practices call for healthcare organizations to establish strategic record management programs, complete with comprehensive record retention policy and procedures. Failure to safeguard PHI and ePHI could lead to HIPAA investigations, financial penalties, and disgruntled patients. Mismanagement of business records, including PII and electronically stored information, could trigger million-dollar lawsuits, damaged reputations, and decreased revenues. Compliance with federal/state laws and HIPAA’s Privacy Rule & Security Rule is mandatory. Attend this program to learn best practices-based strategies for effective record management. You’ll leave with a package of valuable tools, including a sample record retention policy, record retention guidelines, and an informative whitepaper to help your organization manage records, minimize risks, and maximize compliance.

Attendance certificate provided to self-report CE credits.

This informative session is a must for records managers, information managers, office managers, compliance personnel, human resources staff, administrators, and anyone charged with managing the organization’s electronic and paper records.
