Who Can Benefit from Medical Records Management?
Digital archiving and retrieval increases productivity, lowers storage and maintenance costs (when compared to managing a paper system), and increases day-to-day efficiency. Healthcare practices, businesses, and facilities of all kinds can benefit from medical document management services.
Clinics and Private Practices
Clinics and private medical practices have different needs when it comes to paperwork and patient data. An EMR system helps provide access to medical records, share patient files, and provide prescription information. Digital systems save time for busy healthcare providers and allow patients to be treated and communicated more effectively.
Hospitals or Healthcare Networks
Hospitals and large healthcare networks must be able to admit new patients, order testing, and transfer files between providers quickly. EMR systems are ideal for fast and accurate transfer of information, making it possible for doctors to make critical decisions that could save lives.
Insurance Agencies
Medical claims can involve pages and pages of paperwork, which can lead to costly errors. Digital files maximize efficiency and allow you to manage many accounts and claims without delays or inaccuracies.
Mental Health Care Practices
With the rise of digital therapeutics, Record Nations can help you digitize and store client records, treatment plans, and progress notes. Digitizing these records helps you track patient outcomes and treatment effectiveness to improve your patients’ care overall.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PHI?
PHI stands for Protected Health Information. It’s any piece of identifiable information that could put a patient’s confidentiality at risk. Some common examples of PHI include, but are not limited to: names, phone numbers, addresses, Social Security Numbers, and medical records.
How secure are your medical document management services?
How do we become a paperless practice?
With our medical records scanning services, you will seamlessly transform your practice into a paperless one. We offer day-forward scanning services to ensure all new patient data is being scanned into your system as well.
What services do I need if my practice is closing?
If your practice is closing, our medical records custodian services will ensure your patient data will be securely stored and available for your patients long after the closure.
What is HIPAA?
Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) outlines the requirements that protect personal health information (PHI), from retention to destruction. It requires records to be destroyed when their retention period is up, and shredding is an approved method.
What is HITECH?
Health Information Technology Economic & Clinical Health (HITECH) Act heightens enforcement and penalties for HIPAA non-compliance and requires data breach notifications to patients. This encouraged to standardization of the use of EHRs to increase security.
How long do I need to keep my medical records?
Each state has medical records retention periods that typically range from 6-10 years. No matter what the retention is, all records that reach the end of their period must comply with HIPAA and be thoroughly destroyed.
How can I keep a medical record retention log?
When you’re storing hard-copy medical records with one of our off-site storage providers, you can label your file boxes with their retention times. You can check the status of your records and their retention times, and once they expire, storage providers can handle their destruction with a secure shredding service. For your digital records, EHRs can be configured to track the retention times for them. Once retention periods expire, you can configure your EHR to delete the files automatically.
