Medical Record Shredding

In the United States, healthcare organizations are bound by law to treat patient medical records and documents, collectively known as "Protected Health Information (PHI)," with the highest degree of care regarding patient privacy. Enforced by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), this legislation mandates that protected medical information must be thoroughly and securely destroyed before disposal to safeguard patient confidentiality and comply with regulatory requirements.

Changes to HIPAA put more emphasis on the need for Covered Entities, including medical clinics, to train their employees on the proper disposal of PHI. Failures to provide such training could be considered willful neglect and result in the highest level of mandatory fines.
