Information Regarding Documentation and Shredding

Posted: December 27, 2018 

APTA Colorado sought advice from our legal counsel, Caplan & Earnest about documentation and shredding. The advice includes a record keeping policy and answers to the following questions: I know I can shred charts myself but I am thinking of bringing it to a place that does that. Do they have to have some type of "certification" or HIPPA certification?, Once shred can they go in any garbage bag? Can they be recycled? Does the shredded charts need to go to a specific garbage place or recycling plant?, and I am switching over to electronic paperless charts. If I get a paper fax for a prescription, I can scan it into my computer and upload to my electronic charting system and once it is there, I can shred the paper document correct?.
