Am I understanding correctly that HIPAA requires us to put locks on
doors that lead from patient areas to areas that have patient charts
that are not locked in a room or a cabinet?
This means that doors to practitioners' offices (where charts are
sitting on their desks) must always be kept closed and locked. This
means that practitioner must have a key or a code to open the door to
his own office each time.
What type of door locks are you guys using?
Thanks,
