Scenario

Your office phone rings, and the caller, Jane Malone, is an instructor at the Community College just across the way from LiveWell Health Center, where you are a Supervisor in Health Information and Release of Information. Jane teaches in the accredited HIT programs at the college. Ms. Malone is seeking guest speakers for her upcoming, scheduled courses and specifically wants an experienced HIM professional who can cover Chapter seven in the course text: Release of Information Process Management. You check your calendar and agree to present on this topic next semester at the Community College and decide to create a digital resource for the students.
