Are your medical records protected from liability? Do you understand the rules of consent, release, and disclosure? The majority of medical records are now maintained in an electronic format. While there is much debate about the efficiency of the electronic record, it is a must for a modern medical practice. This guide will help you organize your medical records in a way that is legible, practical, and efficient — no matter if they're paper or electronic.

Included are regulations set forth by Texas law, federal law, and the Texas Medical Board (TMB). It includes information on how to maintain and store your medical records in a HIPAA-compliant manner. You also will learn how to apply appropriate measures for retaining and destroying medical records timely and efficiently.
