In Boston, selecting the right medical record scanning or medical record storage provider can be challenging.
When it comes to medical records, it’s important to make sure that an off site storage facility is secure against theft, damage and misplacement. A records storage facility dealing with medical records needs to be efficient and secure when scanning and converting patient records and other records.

It is incredibly important to ensure that your business is HIPAA and HITECH compliant. Record Nations can help you index, scan, and store you records in order to ensure that you remain compliant.
Preparing Medical Records for Scanning in Boston
All medical records contain Personal Health Information. This means that handling medical records entails keeping the information private and secure at all times. The processing and moving of PHI is a precarious situation and it is imperative to remain HIPAA and HITECH compliant the whole time.
Beyond remaining legally compliant, patient privacy is pertinent to ensure that your business maintains a good relationship with your patients.
Medical Records Custodian
 When a Boston healthcare facility closes, a person or company is 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, Massachusetts requires 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 Boston can help you find a local provider to manage your records, release needed information and destroy the records after the retention period.Â
