Problem:
Analyze Real World Case 8.2. For this assignment, you will conduct an analysis on a lawsuit filed against a physical therapist and reflect on where it fits within the guidelines of a malpractice suit. What is your opinion of California Senate Bill 1415? Do you think patients should be made aware of an organization's record retention period, although this has not been industry practice? Why or why not? A patient requested a copy of their health record and learned that it had been destroyed. The patient complains to the state health department because they were not notified that their record would be destroyed. What response would you expect from the state health department? Do you believe healthcare facilities should destroy health records? Justify your choice.
