How long does the facility have to complete the health records following a discharge?

15 days
30 days
45 days
60 days

The correct answer is: 30 days

The facility has 30 days to complete the health records following a discharge. This is the standard time frame set by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Option A (15 days) is too short of a time frame to adequately complete and review all the necessary information. Options C (45 days) and D (60 days) are too long and could result in delays for patients who might need their records sooner. It is important for facilities to adhere to the 30-day time frame to ensure timely access to health records for patients and to comply with HIPAA regulations.
