  • Local Laws – Staying up to date with local laws, state and federal regulations is essential to operate legally and soundly as medical service providers.

  • Digital Documents – Beyond physical records, x-rays, and other documentation, your digital files also need to be securely and completely destroyed in order to protect patient privacy. Work with a company that offers full service document shredding that includes media destruction and hard drive destruction.

Keeping medical records for longer periods of time opens up your facility to a lot of unnecessary risk.
