The increasing use of locum tenens physicians brings potential pitfalls. If an organization consistently relies on temporary privileges and does not fully verify practitioner credentials, it places patient safety at risk and exposes itself to a potential breach of duty.

Health records are data-rich, and more stakeholders are looking to dip into them for increasingly diverse purposes such as population health and value-based care programs. At the same time, payers are stepping up their use of data to guide audits, and the growing burden of documentation is cited as the leading cause of physician burnout. As the uses of health information expand, the purpose, usability, and integrity of the data can be put at risk.
