In a complex health services environment with many different health care practitioners, individual practitioners and directors at health care facilities may be confused on how long to retain -- and whether to dispose of – electronic medical records. Does, having digital records require medical records retention to be indefinite, or does it simply allow it?

Differing and even conflicting sources of requirements exist for the retention and disposition of patient’s medical records, which may vary based upon the specific health care practitioner. With the majority of medical records moving to an electronic format, special rules and regulations now exist with regard to the confidentiality, security, retention, and disposition of electronic medical records.

Why Should You Attend:

Working in today’s diverse, fast-changing, multidisciplinary health care environment often presents challenges to the professional that are not easy to navigate. Record keeping varies greatly from health care professional to health care professional.

In addition to these clinical requirements of a specific profession, additional state laws set forth the content and retention 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 record content requirements.

The professional should attend to understand a broad perspective on the many sources of requirements for the retention and disposition of medical records across the spectrum of health care.

Areas Covered in this Webinar:

One area covered specifically about electronic record recognizes that while psychotherapy and mental health services are ideal treatments to offer over the internet, that is, by simultaneous audio-visual transmission between the doctor and the patient, 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?

In addition to the sources of rules that govern the confidentiality, retention, and disposition of medical records, there are other sources of requirements for compliance with facility laws and contractual agreements, such as for professional malpractice insurance.

In addition to state law requirements for the specific retention and disposition of clinical medical records, how long should the health care practitioner retain records for the possible, future defense of a malpractice claim for negligent treatment? Or to retain such medical records when the patient is a minor? Or to defend a possible complaint and disciplinary action by a state regulatory agency which could revoke the professional license of the practitioner?
