he way medical facilities handle information changed in 2002 with the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA). Now, limiting access to patient medical records is not only simply appropriate, it is the law. In addition, limited hospital budgets mean squeezing more and more into already crowded medical facilities. A records management system can ease the burden of regulations and provide much needed space for new treatment or patient care areas.

Increased Productivity
Getting files in the right place at the right time increases productivity. Not just everyday business activity, but in the case of audits, litigation or regulators checking corporate compliance the time spent tracking down files translates to less time spent on real business activities. Safe Archives will improve accountability with file bar code tracking features and secure storage.

Reduced Hidden Storage Costs
How large is your storage room? Chances are that valuable space should be used more effectively. Each health care department or facility has unique storage needs, from patient records and x-rays, to reference libraries and corporate information. Safe Archives manages your information and frees up resources for more important uses.

Regulation Compliance
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) created several healthcare reforms. Its goals include streamlining industry inefficiencies, reducing paperwork, making it easier to detect and prosecute fraud and abuse and enabling workers of all professions to change jobs, even if they (or family members) had pre-existing medical conditions.

The HIPAA legislation:

Assures health insurance portability by eliminating job-lock due to pre-existing medical conditions
Reduces healthcare fraud and abuse
Enforces standards for health information

Having a cost-effective, efficient records management system helps the medical community meet these challenges.
