No one likes to think of themselves in a lawsuit, but you know how easily that can happen in healthcare settings. And if it does happen to you, you'll want to be armed and ready with all the documentation you have -- including the stuff sitting in cyberspace. New rules now require that electronic information be preserved and produced as requested in a lawsuit -- and guess who's responsible for protecting this information? That's right, health information managers.

Don't lose your case before it has begun just because you didn't properly archive your healthcare organization's electronic information. Discover what information you actually hold, how to preserve it, and how to produce it correctly if you are sued, during this 1-hour audioconference with field expert Jim Sheldon-Dean, BS, MS. He'll teach you invaluable tips on electronic discovery that could turn the tables for you, should you ever face a lawsuit. 

Here’s a sampling of the details you’ll learn:

• What "electronic discovery" is and how it relates to you and your office.
• If you're sued: the information likely to be requested -- and how to provide it.
• How to avoid penalties and default judgments resulting from inappropriate information handling.
• A tried-and-true process that'll help you deal with a lawsuit if it happens.
