Much of that paper plays an essential role in managing their business and providing the best possible care to patients.

HIPAA-Compliant Medical Records Scanning

ILM helps healthcare providers manage their paperwork with HIPAA compliant medical records scanning. Documents are made secure, all while creating more accessibility for both staff and their patients.

HIPAA requires healthcare providers to make patient information accessible to patients yet safeguarded from unauthorized users. At ILM, our staff undergoes HIPAA awareness training every year, and we keep our facilities secure, so you can trust us with your sensitive medical records.

The Medical Records Scanning Process

ILM’s process is safe, reliable, and secure, making sure your documents are collected, processed, and delivered in a way that minimizes loss and maximizes confidentiality.

Consultation and collection

Before we get started with medical records scanning, we’ll consult with you on the scope and nature of your project. From there, we’ll send someone to collect your records and transport them to our facility.

Secure and confidential document scanning

From there, we scan each medical document, checking for accuracy at every stage of the process. Those documents are converted into images, PDFs, or TIFF format, depending on your specific requirements. 

For sensitive documents, special care is taken to make sure the information they contain is kept private.

Final delivery

Once scanned, we can deliver the final result to you through a wide range of options. Your paper documents can either be returned to you, or destroyed to maintain security.
