As a medical professional, your patients’ health and welfare are your top priorities. To that end, it’s vital that you store and safeguard patients’ Protected Health Information (PHI) in the interest of maintaining detailed medical records and complying with the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act — more commonly known as HIPAA.
Intradyn’s all-in-one archiving solution makes it easy to retain and manage all emails, social media communications and text and SMS messages containing PHI in a way that is HIPAA compliant, giving both your organization and your patients much-needed peace of mind.
According to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, PHI “transmitted in any form of media, whether electronic, paper, or oral” is subject to HIPAA regulations, which makes sense, given that digital channels have become the primary mode of communication in the rapidly innovating healthcare industry. Although HIPAA doesn’t have a medical records retention period — these are, instead, defined on a state-by-state basis — all HIPAA-related documents must be retained for a minimum of six years.
