Arlington, TX Medical Records Management Services
Choosing a secure medical record scanning or medical record storage provider that offers quality, accuracy, and consistent results is very important. Record Nations Arlington, TX matches you with full-service medical records management services in Fairhope. Our record experts can store a large volume of documents easily and give you access whenever you need it and are HIPAA and HITECH-compliant.Â
Preparing Your Medical Records for Scanning
Because these records are filled with personal health information (PHI), you are obligated to ensure that they remain private and secure at all times. This is not just a moral obligation to your patients, but also a legal one.
Our medical record scanning is a simple, hassle-free process:
- Provide us with the number of patient records you need to be scanned and some information on the level of detail you need to maintain for each record.
- Our experts will find a secure local scanning contractor that is HIPAA and HITECH-compliant.
- Once we locate a medical scanning company located in Albuquerque, they’ll send you a customized quote for your project.
- Then, you select the provider that fits your needs, and they’ll start the scanning process.
Medical Records Storage Services
Less physical storage is needed when you have converted to a digital practice. However, some files will need to be stored as a backup or for other reasons. For those files, we offer secure medical record storage in our HIPAA and HITECH-compliant facilities.
Our facilities offer climate control, disaster protection, and 24/7 monitoring. Your records will be protected from loss and theft with Record Nations.
Medical Records Custodian
A custodian should be appointed to manage patient records of any healthcare facility that is no longer operating. Each state has different rules and guidelines for how long a record needs to be stored. In Texas, the retention period varies depending on the type of facility.
Custodians of medical records can store physical copies in a secure storage facility or scan the documents and store them electronically using an EMR system. With either option, patient records must be readily available upon request. Failure to produce forms could result in fines or penalties.
Record Nations can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.Â
