(6) Tracking
The entire lifecycle of every document should be tracked, so a compliance or regulatory officer can see if and when a document has been read, emailed or printed, and by who. Recording every stop on the document’s journey is critical in the event of a breach or regulatory audit.
If you can’t show patients, upon their request, who within the organization has accessed their PHI and what they did with it, your entire healthcare supply chain is at risk. Aside from the high financial costs of breaking the law and violating rights, your healthcare institution won’t ever recover from the price of broken consumer trust.
