Survival Series 2021: Medical Records Confidentiality

This introductory level program will provide you with valuable information regarding patient confidentiality and the disclosure and documentation requirements you face every day to prevent breaches that may result in civil liabilities, charges of unprofessional conduct or criminal penalties. Learn the answers to these important questions:

• Who has ownership and control of patient records when a physician retires?
• When can you share information over the telephone?
• Do patient confidentiality rights continue after death?
• What are the rights of minors?
• Does a parent’s custodial status affect that parent’s right to medical records?
• Can you release health records that are subpoenaed?
