Litigation response planning and policies for E-discovery.

With the enactment of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), the legal discovery process in healthcare is beginning a radical transformation. The rules governing the discovery of electronic information and the legal process will vary by court jurisdiction (federal, state, or local) as well as the nature, size, and type of case under litigation (civil, criminal, or class action). To prepare for these new changes, healthcare organizations must revisit how they manage information stored electronically.
