You are the recently hired health information manager for a very large physician group practice. You are reviewing policies and procedures related to e-discovery and notice that there is no mention of a policy related to back-up media. You contact the information technology manager who says that she tried to address this issue a year ago, but the prior HIM manager did not feel it was important, stating it was covered under HIM policies related to retention and destruction. You decide to hold a meeting to reintroduce the topic.

1.Determine who should take part in the meeting.

2.Assume that you will get pushback for addressing this topic again. Offer insight to the group on why this topic must be addressed.
