The Happy Times in Healthcare Podcast is here to help healthcare consumers become better educated in order to receive the best possible healthcare available to them. This new podcast series covers a wide variety of topics including paying for healthcare - when you are insured and when you are not insured, selecting a new physician , using healthcare quality rating tools, and understanding your medical record. In this episode:
Your medical record: Evidence that care was provided to you - Dr Russo discusses how your medical record can be used as legal evidence. Your medical record is a legal document. It is kept in the "normal course of business" and is a "business record" and, therefore, can be used as evidence in any legal inquiry.
Ruthann Russo, PhD, JD, MPH, RHIT, is a healthcare expert with more than 20 years of experience working in and advising healthcare organizations.
