Auditing medical records helps reduce liability.

Healthcare Financial Management | October 1, 1990| | Copyright

Amid demands to contain costs and improve efficiency, hospitals are looking for ways to reduce their exposure to potential liability suits through proper internal controls.

One of the most important phases of a hospital's administrative operation is its medical records department. Carelessness in the operation of this department may result in medical and financial liability. An operational audit of a hospital's medical records department can go a long way toward ensuring an orderly, efficient, and potentially liability-free operation.
