You would think that in today’s world of litigation and fines a medical practice would be crazy to still be storing personal medical information in a public storage facility – but it still happens, and we just saw it again the other day.  Medical records contain information about individuals that is protected by laws, most relevant, HIPAA. Improperly storing your customers information, whether it is financial information, a social security number, or medical records, this storage decision puts an organization subject to stiff penalties, law suits from employees and/or customers.

The positive experience about this specific experience was being able to tell this particular practice, “hey, we can get you compliant with records storage laws, reduce your risk for fines, theft, and lawsuits, and save you time and money…just store your boxes with AccuShred NW and pay only for the space the boxes take up…not an entire storage unit” and it made tons of sense to them. It really is a “no brainer”, you have records, files and papers you need to keep but hate having filing cabinets, boxes or stacks of papers in your office, closets, basements, garages, or back rooms. There is such a better utilization of space than for boxes you need to keep but will RARELY use. Send us an email or give us a call and we would be happy to get you a price to get started. – Brock, general manager
