This approach reduces the risk of unauthorized access or misplaced files.

Are healthcare records storage services compliant with Canadian privacy requirements?

What types of medical documents can be stored offsite?
Offsite medical document storage can include patient charts, diagnostic reports, laboratory records, billing documentation, and archived files. Records that are no longer needed daily but must be retained for compliance or reference are ideal candidates for professional health record storage.
