Why should you Attend\n\n
Wo
rking in today&rsquo\;s diverse\, fast-changing\, multidisciplinary health
care environment\, record keeping varies greatly from health care profess
ional to health care professional.
\nIn addition to clinical requirem
ents of a specific profession\, additional state laws set forth the conten
t 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 o
wn unique record content requirements.
\nThe professional should atte
nd to understand a broad perspective on the many sources of requirements f
or the retention and disposition of medical records across the spectrum of
health care\, both legal and private/contractual requirements.
\nOne
area covered specifically concerns electronic record such when mental hea
lth services are offered over the internet\, the risks of breaches of conf
identiality also vastly increase. And when the successful doctor-patient r
elationship is over\, how does the health care practitioner providing a me
ntal health service dispose of these electronic records?
\nIn additio
n to the sources of rules that govern the confidentiality\, retention\, an
d disposition of medical records\, there are other sources of requirements
for compliance with facility laws and contractual agreements.
\nIn a
ddition to state law requirements\, how long should the health care practi
tioner retain records for the possible\, future defense of a malpractice c
laim for negligent treatment? Or to retain such medical records when the p
atient is a minor? Or to defend a possible complaint and disciplinary acti
on by a state regulatory agency which could revoke the professional.\n
