Most healthcare and medical professionals understand how critical it is to properly shred medical records in an effort to safeguard the privacy of patients.

Therefore, when medical records are being disposed of, it is essential that the medical record destruction and secure document shredding process is completed with the highest level of professionalism and care.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Here in Puerto Rico and the rest of the United States, it is mandatory by law, that health care organizations handle patient medical records and documents known as “Protected Health Information (PHI)”, with the highest level of protection, maintaining privacy throughout.
