Protected health information (PHI) contains medical histories, lab results, insurance information, and more. If this information is exposed it can lead to identity theft and fraud. HIPAA regulations oversee the use of and disclosure of PHI by regulating privacy standards and security rules.
To maintain compliance with HIPAA, medical providers must handle patient data in accordance with their guidelines. Converting to a digital practice increases security for your files and helps maintain compliance.
Medical record scanning carefully converts your records to a digital format while safeguarding the confidentiality of your patients. We prep, scan, and index your medical records under the protection of advanced security and highly trained staff.
We recommend pairing scanning services with medical record storage. This will ensure the safety of your physical files that cannot be converted or need to be retained physically. Our facilities are certified and follow all applicable privacy laws.

We also include emergency retrieval services to give you immediate access to your files.
Medical Records Custodian
If a healthcare facility closes, a person or company is often appointed as the custodian to manage the patient records. Each state has different rules and guidelines for how long a record needs to be stored. California law requires records to be kept for a minimum of 7 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.
Record Nations Mountain View can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.
