Medical Records Custodianship
Medical Records Custodian Services
When a medical practice closes or stops practicing, the custodian of medical records takes control of that practice’s private health records. Why is this important? There are numerous legal and record management protocols that must be followed according to strict HIPAA guidelines. Record Nations can help you find a secure, reliable medical records custodian for your documents.
In addition to this, each state has its own set of regulatory laws regarding the retention of such records. These retention periods can last a few years to a few decades. Hiring a medical records custodian can free your practice from succumbing to the unique challenges these laws can present. Especially when the practice or physician is planning on retirement.

How Medical Records Scanning Works
1. Prepare your documents to be scanned by placing documents and files into labeled boxes to be transported for scanning.
2. Contact Record Nations at (866) 385-3706 or fill out the form to receive free quotes from providers in your area. Choose the provider that best fits your needs and budget.
3. The scanner takes the records and transports them securely to a facility to begin the conversion process. However, if you need to conduct the process on-site, they instead take their scanners to your location.
4. Experts then scan and convert your documents to a digital format, ensuring accuracy every step of the way.
5. Records are converted into desired formats and stored on an electronic health record system or document management system of your choosing.
6. Physical files are either returned to the hospital, office, or clinic or sent to an offsite storage unit until the retention period expires.
