FAQs<br />
How often should a chart audit be<br />
conducted?<br />
The OIG recommends audits to be conducted periodically, but besides<br />
this there are no specific requirements outlined by OIG or HIPAA. It is<br />
up to each organization to develop an audit plan in order to identify<br />
frequency of audit and what will be covered. This will vary from<br />
organization to organization based on risk level, infrastructure, etc. We<br />
offer a audit guidebook under Audit Zone, Resources, which provides<br />
pertinent information on conducting audits of medical records.<br />
