Ensuring that all electronic and paper records are securely handled, transported, and stored may involve encryption, secure packaging, and controlled access to fully comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines for the protection of patient information.
Inventory and Documentation
Creating a comprehensive inventory of all lab and medical equipment and patient records with labels and documentation ensures nothing is lost during the relocation process.
