InNetwork CME - The 21st Century Cures Act and Victim Safety
Included in Plus and Premium Memberships!
AAPA’s InNetwork CME offers specialty spotlights on various topics, created for PAs, by PAs.
The 21st Century Cures Act is a revolutionary set of laws and regulations which governs the release of healthcare information to patients via electronic health records (EHRs) and patient-facing portals. It is unique in its empowerment of patients to view and understand their healthcare information, but there are nuances of it that can contribute to increased violence for victims, especially sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and child abuse. This presentation will examine these nuances and provide practical advice on how to navigate them in a clinical setting.
