Medical Records Storage Services

Using a storage service will help you open up office space, increase productivity, and reduce the chances of misplaced files. Secure offsite medical records storage companies provide you with an easy way to back up and store critical patient files. Your organization can limit who has access to where the files are stored and set different levels of security to protect patient privacy.

Medical Records Custodianship

If a Minneapolis healthcare facility closes, an entity is appointed as the custodian. They are responsible for the management of the patient records. State law requires medical records and files to be retained for a minimum number of years. 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.
