Patient Information Exists on Paper and Electronic Media

Healthcare organizations handle patient intake forms, billing records, insurance documents, employee files and clinical paperwork every day. When those records reach the end of their approved retention period, ordinary recycling and office trash do not provide controlled destruction.

Computers, copiers and servers can also retain protected or confidential information after they are removed from service. Physical hard-drive destruction helps prevent information from being recovered from retired storage media.

ElectroCycle provides one coordinated source for paper document shredding and physical hard-drive destruction. Services are available for scheduled programs, one-time cleanouts and retired technology projects throughout Michigan and Northwest Ohio.

Information Your Organization Needs to Protect

Your retention policy determines when records may be destroyed. Common healthcare materials include:

  • Patient intake forms
  • Billing and insurance records
  • Printed schedules and labels
  • Medical and dental charts
  • Prescription-related paperwork
  • Employee and payroll files
  • Vendor and purchasing records
  • Retired computer hard drives

Locked Containers for Routine Paperwork

Scheduled customers can use secure collection containers between service visits. Employees place approved documents inside, and ElectroCycle technicians move the locked material to the mobile shredding truck for on-site destruction.

Container options can be matched to office layout, paper volume and pickup frequency.

Support Your Healthcare Privacy Procedures

HIPAA requires covered organizations and business associates to use appropriate safeguards when disposing of protected health information. ElectroCycle’s controlled collection and destruction process can support your organization’s written disposal procedures.

Your compliance, privacy or legal team should determine applicable retention periods and authorize destruction. We handle the physical destruction after your organization decides the material is eligible.
