Overview:
The 21st Century Cures Act has several elements of interest to clinicians, including regulations designed improve interoperability so that patients have easier, free access to their electronic health information. Failure to provide patients with access can result in penalties. As awareness of the act increases, more patients will request or demand access to their electronic health information. Clinicians need to ensure that this access is available, while remembering that it’s up to them to help patients interpret that information correctly. Expanded patient access increases the need for dental professionals to document treatment, education and counseling efforts completely in the health record to protect themselves from liability. This session would focus on the general rules and exceptions of The 21st Century Cures Act with recommendations on improved documentation practices.

Learning Objective:

List the general rules of The 21st Century Cures Act.
List the general exceptions of The 21st Century Cures Act.
Identify key documentation practices that dentists can incorporate into their practice to help reduce liability risk.
