Information Handling Best Practices
Duration: 30 Minutes
The health information exchange landscape is continuing to evolve and expand at an increasingly rapid rate. Yet, those outside of this niche generally have poor insight into the what, when, why, and with whom of health information exchange. And let’s face it: This stuff is pretty complicated. We differ in so many ways, but for individuals to understand how we handle their health information, we need to tell them. Learn some best practices for how to communicate the way your organization handles information.
