A highly interactive online workshop that explores how to create good quality medical records and deal with issues surrounding medical documentation such as releasing medical records to third parties and accessing medical records when leaving a group practice.

Keeping clear medical records is a professional requirement and an integral part of good quality care. Given the sensitive information medical records contain, maintaining their security and privacy is vital. Good documentation can also substantially improve the defensibility of a claim or complaint.
