Five Questions every Hospital Needs to Ask Themselves:
- Do I have a written Policy and Procedure for responding to verification requests?
- Does my Policy and Procedure expose my hospital to risk of lawsuit (Kadlec vs. Lakeview)?
- Have my practitioners been properly informed of this Policy and Procedure?
- Does my Policy and Procedure ensure consistent, traceable, and quality communication to other healthcare organizations?
- How can I implement a process to reduce legal exposure and costs?
