In today’s privacy-conscious landscape, retrieving medical records isn’t just about speed—it’s about staying compliant. Organizations in the legal, insurance, and healthcare industries must navigate complex regulations like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure that sensitive health information is handled securely.
HIPAA in particular mandates strict protocols around the access, storage, and transmission of Protected Health Information (PHI). Failure to comply with HIPAA can result in potential breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and costly penalties. Even small missteps—such as emailing records insecurely, misidentifying providers, or storing data without proper safeguards—can result in hefty fines and reputational damage for non-compliance.
For example, the HHS Office recently imposed a $1.5 million civil money penalty against Warby Parker, an online retailer for prescription glasses, for three violations of the HIPAA Security Rule that resulted in unauthorized access to patient information.
Manual, paper-based retrieval methods increase the risk of HIPAA violations. Unsecured communication, misidentified providers, and inconsistent documentation make it hard to maintain compliance. Plus, these outdated methods can create delays, duplicate requests, and costly mistakes —especially when multiple stakeholders are involved.
