Legal Medical Record
Are you prepared to present a patient's “legal” medical record from your EMR if requested by a court of law?
What is the legal electronic medical record?
- The medical record is a healthcare organization's most important business and legal record.
- A well defined process to maintain a legal medical record should be defined and implemented.
- Medical records must be maintained in a way that is legally sound or they risk being challenged as invalid.
Don't assume that a given EMR will meet your requirements for a legal record. As the EMR marketplace increases awareness of these matters, products will continue to improve. Regardless of format, whether you are paper or electronic, the medical record must meet the requirements of the legal and business record for the organization.
