OP Bert Member Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 12,899 Likes: 34 Maine	My practice consultant emailed me this question. I apologize that I am not sure it is the right question to elicit the correct response. But, there a lot of people out there who know way more about this than I. She says, "Bert, I have been trying to find the appropriate wording to put in our HIPAA compliance format for offices with an EMR. Do you know what the wording would be?" Does anyone know what she is referring to and where I would find it? Thanks Bert Pediatrics Brewer, Maine
