If you have ever worked in or owned any kind of medical or dental office, you understand the importance of HIPAA. Securing patient privacy is legally and ethically required. This means it is vital to invest in proper office paper shredding. Because large amounts of paper may be processed in your office, it is not secure or efficient to have an employee running a shredder all day long, handling documents that might have sensitive patient information. At Shred South, we offer secure office paper shredding services.
While we do offer office paper shredding as a one-time service to empty a storage unit full of old records or such, most medical or dental offices need regular paper shredding services. This is why we suggest setting up scheduled shredding services between our team and your office. When you schedule regular shredding services, we can provide your office with a secure container to store all HIPPA-related documents and files that need to be shredded. This keeps them secure until the scheduled office paper shredding day arrives. Then, at regular intervals, our professional and highly trained team arrives to collect and destroy these documents, keeping your office HIPAA compliant. This also takes a large amount of work off your employees, and a large stress off your mind by knowing that your patients’ files are secure and being eliminated properly.
As our company is NAID certified, you can be sure that all private patient information is being destroyed in a way that complies with local, state, and federal regulations. Contact our office today so we can help you dispose of sensitive documentation and files as swiftly and securely as possible.
