PRLog -- Audits Help With Troubleshooting and TrainingThe Oncology Institute of Hope & Innovation, an independent practice with a dozen offices in and around Los Angeles, conducts regular audits of patient records. Audits are time consuming, but they go faster with EHRs than with paper records that are stored off-site, and they minimize the risk of problems related to either lawsuits or billing.“It’
s rare to find a problem, but the auditing process is still valuable for a number of reasons,” said Matthew Stevens, the Oncology Institute’s General Counsel and Compliance Officer. “It allows us to evaluate how well we’re training people to use the software and to make improvements. It also allows us to find problems before they come up in lawsuits or billing disputes and, quite often, to correct them. Finally, it gives everyone a strong incentive to be diligent about keeping the sort of good records that impress auditors.” - See more at:
