Northeastern Nevada Regional Hospital recognizes the contributions of the health information management and technology fields.

Under the privacy regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA], patients have the right to view, amend and obtain copies of their health information. This has increased their knowledge of the importance of properly managed health information.

A medical record serves as the basis for planning patient care. To receive quality healthcare, accurate and timely health information is crucial - this is the primary goal of the medical records professional.

Medical Record Professionals contribute to "Managing the Records of Life" by:

• Ensuring HIPAA awareness so that healthcare organizations are cognizant of and complying with the new regulations 
• Protecting patient privacy and providing information security 
• Ensuring health information is complete and available to legitimate users 
• Coding and classifying data for reimbursement. 
• Analyzing information necessary for decision support 
• Administering health information computer systems 
• Preparing health data for accreditation surveys 
• Analyzing clinical data for research and public policy 
• Preventing fraud and abuse 

Thanks to the staff of the Medical Records Department at NNRH for all their hard work throughout the year.
