Description: The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling reversing the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision has forced many states to consider updating their legislation on the topic of abortion. The polarizing nature of this ruling means that covered entities and their practices will be in the cross-hairs of additional state and federal legislation. State legislation may mean health agencies’ designated record sets (DRS) must include (or exclude) information relating to pregnancy or reproductive health. These potentially new regulations could create additional sensitive information categories for electronic medical record (EMR) systems to manage, and, especially, for release of information (ROI) professionals to navigate. This presentation will discuss this, along with some helpful ways to ensure your EMRs are setup and staff are trained to manage this every changing landscape.
