destruction policies?
a. All applicable laws must be considered
b. The organization must find a way not to destroy any health records
c. Health records involved in pending or ongoing litigation may be destroyed

applicable federal and state statutes and regulations; accreditation standards;
pending or ongoing litigation; storage capabilities; and cost (Rinehart-Thompson
2016a, 208).

accessing information without authorization to do so, or employees accessing

(Rinehart-Thompson 2016c, 256).
