Preservation of Evidence: You Gotta Know When to Hold 'Em




http://ow.ly/63nij

The link above is to the LTC Professional's August Newsletter.  The headline article features the column the Adelman Advantage, authored by Rebecca Adelman.  "The article is entitled, Preservation of Evidence: You Gotta Know When to Hold 'Em. Best Practices for Litigation Hold - Part 1."

This article provides insight into litigation hold practices for healthcare providers.  The article defines what a litigation hold is, and discusses the scope of a litigation hold, as well as the need for practicing emergency drills for when a litigation hold might arise.  This is an informative article for corporations that need to preserve medical records information, and as the push for digitization of health care records continues, preservation of electronic health records will be a topic that many companies will be forced to address.
