With the use of electronic healthcare records (EHR) set to transform the healthcare industry, the use of information technology in the maintenance of personal health records poses a range of issues and opportunities for every medical organization. Reflecting the U.S. Government's goal of achieving widespread adoption of interoperable electronic health records to improve quality and efficiency of healthcare while maintaining the levels of security and privacy the consumer expect,   "Electronic Health Records: An Audit and Internal Control Guide"  expertly walks readers through the elements required for an efficient, well-run healthcare record management system. This timely book details the audit tools necessary for continued internal controls regardless of the systems implemented. 

Providing an application readers can adopt as a model, this important book examines the infrastructure of electronic health records and how government criteria will impact both private and public marketplaces.
