Scenario

You are the manager of the Medical Records Department at Rasmussen Hospital and were recently reviewing the organization's current Document Retention Policy (linked below).

Module 01 Document Retention Policy.pdf

The current policy addresses the retention and destruction of medical records in the normal course of business. However, you noticed that it does not include instructions for how employees should respond to a litigation hold. Ultimately, the policy will need to be updated, but in the meantime, you decide to create a short training document to educate the staff.

Instructions

In a two (2) page training document, written using proper spelling and grammar, as well as professional tone and vocabulary, address the items below.

1. Differentiate between the three (3) legal terms below by explaining each and comparing them to one another.
2. Litigation Hold
3. Notice of Preservation
4. Order for Preservation
5. Provide instructions explaining how the staff should handle a litigation hold.

Your training document should be well organized and include appropriate headings/subheadings. Be sure to incorporate and cite at least one (1) credible, scholarly resource using APA format.
