HIPAA: Release of Information

Gain an understanding of how to process various types of patient record requests that your facility or office receives. In responding to requests, it is important not only to meet the regulations in the HIPAA Privacy Rule, but also to ensure a proper response to deliver excellent customer service and ensure continuity of care with the use of patient information. This course summarizes the HIPAA Privacy Rule as it pertains to releasing information, as well as how to excel operationally by centralizing the release of protected health information. Sensitive topics such as denying requests for records and disclosures of mental health records are also discussed.
