The ever advancing speed of technological development has greatly enhanced the ability of health care providers to provide services to their patients as well as allow greater operational efficiencies for business administration. The increasing use of technology such as electronic medical records, email, and mobile technology, however, has fundamentally altered the litigation discovery process as well as the way health care providers must respond to government inquiries, investigations, and subpoenas. Opposing parties in medical malpractice suits and commercial litigation, as well as government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Inspector General, and state Medicaid Fraud Control Units are increasingly requiring electronic production of electronically stored documentation and correspondence. In the new world of big data, health care providers need an experienced team on their side to ensure a thorough and legally defensible production of electronic documents and data.
