Why should you Attend\n\n
Working in to
day&rsquo\;s diverse\, fast-changing\, multidisciplinary health care envir
onment\, record keeping varies greatly from health care professional to he
alth care professional.
\nIn addition to clinical requirements of a s
pecific profession\, additional state laws set forth the content and reten
tion of other types of records\, other than clinical records of a patient\
, that are also kept by the professional\, such as supervisory agreements
with other professionals subordinate to them as well as their own unique r
ecord content requirements.
\nThe professional should attend to under
stand a broad perspective on the many sources of requirements for the rete
ntion and disposition of medical records across the spectrum of health car
e\, both legal and private/contractual requirements.
\nOne area cover
ed specifically concerns electronic record such when mental health service
s are offered over the internet\, the risks of breaches of confidentiality
also vastly increase. And when the successful doctor-patient relationship
is over\, how does the health care practitioner providing a mental health
service dispose of these electronic records?
\nIn addition to the so
urces of rules that govern the confidentiality\, retention\, and dispositi
on of medical records\, there are other sources of requirements for compli
ance with facility laws and contractual agreements.
\nIn addition to
state law requirements\, how long should the health care practitioner reta
in records for the possible\, future defense of a malpractice claim for ne
gligent treatment? Or to retain such medical records when the patient is a
minor? Or to defend a possible complaint and disciplinary action by a sta
te regulatory agency which could revoke the professional.\n
