Summary of Proposed Presentation : Although most facilities have a fully functioning electronic medical record system in today’s digital environments, we are still maintaining too much information that may be past its retention period and cumbersome to locate. Holding on to information longer than needed will only increase cost and risks over time and creates unnecessary burdens on HI teams who must retrieve this information on a daily basis. We will discuss ways to organize records for efficiency, destroy eligible information timely, and eliminate unnecessary cost and risk from an information lifecycle management program. Whether it is ensuring compliance with record retention schedules, internal policies, or HIPAA requirements, learn how you can stop wasting your budget and resources by turning the chaos into compliance.
Learning Objectives:
Define information lifecycle management (ILM) and the components needed to ensure compliance with record retention schedules, internal policies, and HIPAA requirements
Demonstrate effective methods to determine current-state compliance such as identifying data and information that are being housed in your organization- onsite or offsite
Explore the steps and roadmap to quickly and cost effectively identify information eligible for destruction and plan for the future
