Medical records scanning and medical records storage go hand in hand. When you convert patient records to digital files, you will still need to store and retrieve some physical medical records offsite. You will need to find a document management company that specializes in both.
Record Nations Columbus partners with companies that offer full-service scanning and storage for medical practices, hospitals, and other healthcare-related businesses. They can index, scan, or store many documents for an affordable price.
Preparing Medical Records for Scanning
Medical records contain personal health information (PHI) that must be handled carefully to ensure the information remains confidential. Patient privacy is protected by federal and state law, as well as HIPAA privacy regulations. To stay in compliance, medical practices look to document management systems including scanning.

Medical Records Storage Services
Offsite storage provides a place to store medical files that have not met their retention dates or that need to be available for retrieval or backup.
Our monitored, secure storage facilities protect your documents from being lost or stolen. You can limit access to your files and set different levels of security for your files as needed. You can rest easy knowing your documents are safe with Record Nations Columbus.
Medical Records Custodian
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. Georgia requires patients’ files to be stored for a minimum of 10 years.
Using a medical custodian takes the liability off of you or your practice. Hiring a company to manage your facility’s medical records ensures you will remain in compliance and your past patients will continue to receive care and support.
Record Nations can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.
