Medical record management is no easy task.
The managerial activities related to the creation, maintenance, use, and
disposition of medical records to achieve adequate and proper documentation
of a health care organization's policies, policy compliance and transactions
can be overwhelming.
| HIPAA regulations (The Healthcare
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) mandate that health
care providers ensure the privacy of patient medical records. If you are
involved in the health care industry, it is imperative that you have a
health information and
medical record management
system that includes unified backups, secure
document retention, retrieval and a well-designed archival system.
DRD
Information Management can become your medical record management specialist.
We'll assist you in developing a document retention plan that works efficiently,
is cost-effective and protects your business against costly HIPAA violation
fines. |

American
Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) surveyed 1,117 hospitals
and health systems (January, 2006) and discovered that compliance with
HIPAA regulations regarding the privacy of patients' medical records declined
from 2005. Over half (55%) those polled claimed insufficient resources
as a reason for their noncompliance with HIPAA regulations. This comes
at a time when patients are increasingly aware of and concerned about privacy
of their health information.
