Medical Record Scanning and Storage Lafayette, LAThe medical industry is always evolving to improve the quality of care for patients. Medical record scanning and digital conversion support healthcare providers with better access to and easier management of patient information.

Medical record storage helps with the record management process by providing a secure space to store medical records without taking up space within the office. Our HIPAA and HITECH-certified services take the stress out of medical record management, allowing you to focus on treating patients and providing high-quality medical care.

Preparing Medical Records for Scanning

Paper-based patient files are inaccessible, unprotected, and inefficient. Digital files give you instant access with privacy protection. Coordination of care between practices becomes simple and medical errors are reduced. Even the use of your Electronic Health Record System (EHR) will become more productive when integrated with your files.

To prepare for your scanning project, count the number of records you have and follow the steps below. Click here for assistance counting your documents.

  2. You will be contacted by multiple medical record scanning providers within minutes.
  3. Choose a provider that best fits your needs and begin scanning.

Medical Records Storage Services

Physical storage is necessary for medical records that must be retained for legal or backup purposes. Our secure storage facilities will protect your files from theft, loss, and environmental threats. We include climate control, fire and flood protection, and 24/7 monitoring. You will feel confident knowing your medical files are safe and accessible with Record Nations Lafayette.

If you need digital cloud storage, we have options available as well.

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.

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 Lafayette can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.
