It's Quick and Easy. No Cost. No Obligation.
Every patient has a right to privacy, and doctors are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure that medical information is secure. According to Smith, Gambrell and Russell, a law firm, medical practices can implement security measures ranging from encrypting electronic records to storing healthcare records in a dedicated facility.
Additionally, the source notes that a common method for sharing documents - faxing - is particularly insecure and can cause significant problems. Files are sometimes left unattended on fax machines, meaning that any interested parties can read sensitive information.
To avoid stolen records, doctors must find secure solutions for their files. A document storage facility from Stevens Records Management can help doctors maintain HIPAA compliance and ensure that sensitive documents aren't falling into the wrong hands. Every file - from patient histories to prescriptions - can be stored in a dedicated building and delivered overnight in a sealed envelope.
Additionally, the storage facilities feature security measures to ensure that documents can only be found by professionals. Files are assigned barcodes and tracking numbers to ensure that any parties without the necessary information cannot find health records.
