The amount of digitally-stored medical information continues to grow at an accelerating rate, being driven by government stimulus and overall efficiency initiatives in the healthcare profession.Simultaneously, the threats of litigation and government investigation, which require increasing volumes of electronic medical information, are creating an untenable risk for healthcare practitioners and insurance providers due to potential missteps when responding to a duty to that preserve information.

The HITECH Act (Health Information for Clinical and Economic Health), a component of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, appropriated roughly $27B to assist in and facilitate the transition to digital healthcare records. The availability of these funds, as well as quality of care advantages through enhanced coordination of medical disciplines, will drive tremendous growth in the use of electronic media (including email and text messaging) to capture patient information and enhance communications between caregivers.

The healthcare industry is one of the most litigious sectors in our economy. Now is the time to educate yourself so your organization will be prepared to meet the contemporary standards for legal holds.
