Practice Management Nuggets

Is Remote Working A Good Choice For Your Healthcare Practice? In our healthcare practices, we have policies and procedures to identify the reasonable safeguards we need take to protect personal and health information entrusted to us. But when employees complete their roles off-site, due to personal circumstances or to ensure business continuity in unusual situations, we need to take action to ensure reasonable safeguards are in place to protect the privacy, confidentiality, and security of personal health information. Remote Work May Be Available to Employees Working from home is at the sole discretion of the custodian and owner of the clinic. Examples when this may be applicable include: Business continuity - due to technical, physical, or other unusual circumstances. Work levelling – volumes of work are distributed to another location usually for a short duration. Illness / personal circumstances – where an employee is unable to report to work at the clinic but can continue to complete their roles off-site
