Medical Record Shredding & Destruction

Protect Privacy

Healthcare and medical professionals understand the importance of securely shredding medical records and therefore protecting the privacy of patients. Of course, healthcare providers must care for and keep secure all sensitive information and when medical records need to be discarded, they want to professionally handle the record destruction process. Furthermore, we trust that they will preserve our privacy.

In the United States, organizations in the health care industry are required by law to carefully handle patient medical records and documents known as “Protected Health Information (PHI)”, because these records demand the highest protection for patient privacy. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that this protected medical information be shred professionally and securely prior to disposal.

HIPAA changes have put more focus on the need for Covered Entities, such as medical clinics. Therefore, they must provide training for their employees on the proper disposal of PHI. Medical clinics that fail to offer the right training could be viewed as willfully neglectful and as a result receive the highest level of fines.
