As required by law, every health care facility must maintain a medical record for each patient that it treats (Pozgar, 2004).
Although the exact specifications may vary slightly across each state, there are still some basic legal principles to remember when dealing with the medical record.
As a part of the risk-management department for an assisted living facility, it has fallen to you to take a look at the facility's policies on medical records. It is your responsibility to come up with a new policy that deals with the maintenance and release of medical records.
Your group will be developing a two-part policy for medical records.
The first part will be developed individually and the second part will be developed as a group. The components of Parts I and II are laid out below.
