Medical Record Shredding

Maintain Legal Compliance with PROSHRED^®

Records kept by medical practitioners contain a lot of Protected Health Information (PHI). This sort of data is safeguarded under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which emphasizes the importance of protecting patient privacy. To guarantee that PHI has been properly erased, HIPAA stipulates that healthcare professionals must follow several precautions.

When HIPAA was enacted, it established rules requiring medical offices to educate their staff on the correct disposal procedures for private patient records. Failing to give staff sufficient training may result in a company being held responsible if PHI is leaked or stolen. You can rest assured that you're following HIPAA guidelines for document destruction by hiring PROSHRED® Jacksonville.

Securely Destroy Your Non-Paper Medical Items

Patient information, as you are undoubtedly aware, is not restricted to paper documents. Non-paper materials may contain just as much, if not more, sensitive personal information that must be safeguarded. If these items fall into the wrong hands, they could cause your organization and clients serious harm. Prescription bottles, packaging, medical devices, and other objects containing patient data are examples of things that cannot be shredded using our state-of-the-art mobile shredding trucks, but, like their paper counterparts, should not be thrown away in the nearest dumpster. Our secure product destruction service allows you to incinerate virtually all non-shreddable materials. Properly disposing of these items protects not just the healthcare institution's interests, but also those of its valued patients.
