Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A subpoena duces tecum is a court order that requires a person to produce documents or evidence, in this case the medical record, to the court. This is the most appropriate option for HIM personnel to bring the medical record to court. Personal subpoena (A) is not appropriate as it is a court order for an individual to appear in court, not to produce evidence. Deposition (B) is a pre-trial examination of a witness and may not result in the actual production of the medical record. Judgment (D) is also not appropriate as it is the final decision of the court in a case, and would not be the mechanism for obtaining the medical record.
