My Retired Doctor has been working since 1993 to assist doctors that are venturing into retirement with their document management services. Here is how My Retired Doctor can help:
Storing Records
There are certain files that need to be kept intact long after you are gone. One example of this is your patients’ medical records. These files need to be accessible to your patients as they transfer to other doctors, and might also be necessary for any audit purposes. If you are planning to retire you can enlist My Retired Doctor to store these files for you. They will be kept completely safe in our secure storage facility. The building is high-security and is the perfect place to house old records that you are not yet able to destroy.
Scanning Records
When you retire there are a few options. You can either store all of the old paper files, or you can scan them and create a sleek digital database. It might seem like an unnecessary cost, but in the long run you can save time and money by making it easier to release information to old patients that request their medical records. At My Retired Doctor, we examine every document scanned with our high resolution imaging software to ensure that it is clear and legible.
Shredding Records
When you close down your medical practice there will be certain documents that are necessary to shred. As the pile of papers that need to be destroyed pile up, it might be time to think about allowing a company like My Retired Doctor to assist with their disposal. We are 100% HIPAA compliant, so you will not need to worry about these documents falling into the wrong hands. If you decide to scan your patient files to create a digital database, we can also take care of shredding any additional documents that you require.
Release of Information Provider
When you leave your medical practice you will have to establish a way for past patients to get copies of their medical records. At My Retired Doctor, we can also serve as your release of information provider. You can rest assured that your past patients will have access to their necessary documents once you have retired.
