Description
This program will cover the CMS regulations and interpretive guidelines for medical records for acute and critical access hospitals in detail. There will also be a brief discussion of the Interoperability and Patient Access Rules. The law affects healthcare providers and effectively grants patients immediate access to health information in their electronic medical records – without charge. Certain records are excluded, and the rule establishes exceptions to “information blocking’. This rule and its implications for healthcare providers will be discussed.
This program will revisit information on HIPAA from the Office of Civil Rights, including the difference between patient access versus when authorization is needed. There will also be a discussion on The Joint Commission, which changed many of its standards to comply with the CMS CoP requirements.
Other topics to be discussed include the security of health information and OCR Security Risk Assessment.
