New Legal Manual Available!

Posted by: admin on 09/09/2006 13:30:47
The Oklahoma Health Information and The Law Manual has been revised according to the 2005 statutes and regulations. In this revision, we have included more regulatory notations in the appendices to better assist your research when faced with legal issues impacting health records in Oklahoma.

We asked for your opinions, you overwhelmingly told us you preferred CD, and we listened!

This year we have elected to produce the more cost effective CD version only as a means to keep our costs low to our membership. You will be able to print on demand any chapters, regulations or references as needed.

Also, we are now offering the option of purchasing the manual via Paypal! We hope you will find this new payment option more convenient. Go to our legal manual order page to learn more and to place your order today.
