Each week our Compliance office staff randomly selects 10 employees who for some reason or another as part of their jobs, have accessed the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Compliance staff review what the randomly selected employees have accessed to determine if that access was appropriate. If access is deemed inappropriate then a thorough investigation occurs and appropriate disciplinary action is taken.
