The Kitch firm presented a comprehensive overview of risk management issues relating to the use of electronic medical records (“EMR”) and new obligations arising from the Healthcare Information Technology for Economic & Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”) of 2009. Originally presented as a seminar/webinar on May 7, 2010, the program offered practical pointers on how to adapt to HITECH’s rapidly approaching obligations and how to prepare for new litigation challenges in the digital world. Our presenters provided up-to-date valuable insights into issues that are certain to impact medical recordkeeping, risk avoidance, HIPAA compliance, and defense of malpractice claims in the age of the electronic medical record.
