Protect Your Medical Clinic and Your Patients
Secure HIPAA Document Destruction in Oregon
Maintaining patient privacy is a vitally important and complicated task whether you’re a hospital, medical clinic, or independent practitioner. The regulations and laws relating to the gathering, storage, and destruction of confidential patient info are extensive. Ensure patient privacy while safeguarding your practice. Mishandling patient data can lead to fines, loss of patient trust, and even jeopardize the status of your license, especially if the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) has been violated.
DataSafe has been working with medical clinics in the Portland, Oregon area for over three decades. We can develop streamlined, secure plans for the management, collection, and destruction of confidential data. With our scheduled, recurring shredding services, your practice and your patients will be secure and compliant.

Data Breaches and Hospitals
Medical practices collect huge amounts of personal data. But unsurprisingly, organizations handling patient data are susceptible to identity theft and data breaches. In fact, breaches have become more commonplace, especially with the advent of COVID-19. For example, 2020 saw a 55% increase in healthcare data breaches over 2019. While digital records are used more and more, especially in healthcare, paper hasn’t gone anywhere. Whether vaccination cards, visit summaries, or FMLA documentation, there are numerous opportunities for data to get misplaced, carelessly placed in a recycling bin, or picked up by would-be criminals. And how are you handling unused and outdated digital media that contains data protected under HIPAA? Don’t simply store these precious devices in a warehouse or storage closet – ensure they’re securely destroyed!
Emphasize security at every step of the process and make regular paper and digital shredding one piece of the puzzle.

Professional Shredding Is the Secure Option
Clinics and medical offices may be tempted to shred their own documents but this is an expensive option. Employee shredding doesn’t give you the accountability and documented chain of command you need to ensure compliance. If employees pick and choose what is shredded, there may be valuable information left behind in a recycling bin. The documents that are shredded may still contain legible data since in-office shredding machines aren’t secure enough. Motivated thieves can piece together paper from a strip-cut or cross-cut shredder. Plus, your employees may spend too much valuable time shredding instead of doing their actual job duties – this is a significant cost to your organization.
