Medical Record Shredding Services

Those in the healthcare sector are regularly trusted with some of the most private information about individuals. Because of this, protocols and legislation have been put in place to ensure that this information is handled with the utmost care. As a medical professional, your patients trust that you will keep their data confidential even throughout the disposal process. Keeping these files private is also an important factor in preventing your organization from encountering legal issues.

While you are working to provide your patients with the best level of care possible, you shouldn’t have to worry about how or when your unneeded documents are being discarded. That is why you need a mobile shredding company that understands your needs and puts the same degree of care into the destruction of your medical records. At PROSHRED® Pittsburgh, we strive to provide the highest-quality shredding services to each of our clients.

Maintain Compliance with Medical Record Disposal Legislation

Protected Health Information (PHI) is found in abundance in medical records retained by healthcare professionals. This type of information is heavily protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). HIPAA stresses the importance of protecting patient privacy by requiring medical staff to take several additional measures to guarantee that PHI has been carefully destroyed.

When HIPAA was enacted, it also included regulations for how medical offices train their employees on the correct disposal methods for confidential patient records. Organizations that fail to provide adequate training are at risk of being held liable if PHI is leaked or stolen. By choosing PROSHRED® Pittsburgh for secure document shredding, you can be sure you’re doing your part to follow HIPAA regulations for document disposal.

Secure Destruction of Non-Paper Medical Items

As you are probably aware, PHI is not confined to paper documents. Non-paper materials can contain just as much, if not more, private information that needs to be protected. Should these items fall into the wrong hands, they could pose a serious threat to your organization and your clients. Materials that cannot be shredded using our state-of-the-art mobile shredding trucks include such things as prescription bottles, packaging, medical devices, and many other items that contain patient information.

Like their paper counterparts, these items shouldn’t be thrown into the nearest dumpster. The secure product destruction service provided by PROSHRED® Pittsburgh allows you to incinerate nearly all confidential items that are not suitable for the shredder. Ensuring that these materials are kept out of unauthorized hands protects not only the interests of the healthcare facility, but also each and every one of its valued patients.
