Human Resources Document Management Benefits
How Human Resources Document Scanning Works
1. Prepare your documents to be scanned by placing documents and files into labeled boxes to be transported for scanning.
2. Contact Record Nations at (866) 385-3706 or fill out the form to receive free quotes from providers in your area. Choose the provider that best fits your needs and budget.
3. The scanner takes the records and transports them securely to a facility to begin the conversion process. However, if you need to conduct the process on-site, they instead take their scanners to your location.
4. Experts then scan and convert your documents to a digital format, ensuring accuracy every step of the way.
5. Records are converted into desired formats and stored on a document management system of your choosing.
6. Physical files are either returned to the office or are sent to an offsite storage unit until the retention period expires.

HIPAA was implemented to safeguard the permissible usage and disclosure of patients’ health information.

How do I need to prepare my HR documents for scanning?
Generally, you should organize your documents in the way you want to index them in your digital storage system. They should be free of any damage, and you should remove staples, paper clips, or other bindings so the scanning process can run efficiently and smoothly.
How should I prepare my HR documents for off-site storage?
1. Sort and Organize: Before storing your documents off-site, sort them into categories based on their type, date, or other relevant criteria. Organizing your documents beforehand will make it easier to access them later.
2. Remove Unnecessary Items: Take this opportunity to purge any records that are no longer needed or relevant. Dispose of outdated documents following your organization’s document retention policies and regulations.
3. Boxing: Place the sorted documents into sturdy, archival-quality boxes or containers. Use appropriate-sized boxes to prevent overfilling and potential damage.
4. Labeling: Clearly label each box with information such as the contents, date range, and any other relevant identifiers. This will make it easier to locate specific records when needed.
5. Inventory: Create a detailed inventory list of all the boxes or containers being sent to off-site storage. Include box numbers, contents, and any other relevant information to track your documents.
6. Protective Measures: Consider using archival-quality folders, sleeves, or envelopes to protect individual documents within the boxes. This can help prevent damage from handling, moisture, or environmental factors.
