The Challenges of the Healthcare Industry
Healthcare facilities are held to some of the highest standards of transparency, accountability, and responsibility. Federal laws such as HIPAA and HITECH, as well as any state regulation, govern patient privacy. Fines can range from $100 to $250,000 per violation and can even result in up to 10 years in jail.
Selling or donating your practice’s old electronics puts your patients’ and employees’ data at risk if put in the wrong hands. Electronics recycling and data destruction services are an easy and secure way to keep your practice in compliance with state and federal regulations. Depending on your service provider, you may even get to watch your devices get destroyed at your location for the utmost security. Either way, you will receive a certificate of destruction for your records to ensure compliance with these laws as well. You will not receive a certificate with drop-off services, so we suggest using a pickup or mail-back option.
