The Health Net Quality Improvement Committee (HNQIC) develops standards for the administration and evaluation of medical records. Participating providers are required to comply with all medical record documentation standards.

Health Net requires participating providers to maintain medical records in a manner that is accurate, current, detailed, complete, organized, in accordance with industry standards and best practices, and permits effective and confidential member care and quality review. Medical records must reflect all aspects of member care, be readily available to health care providers and provide data for statistical and quality-of-care analysis. Medical records may be selected for evaluation as part of the annual delegation oversight assessment.
