Document Destruction by Brinks Document Destruction - Confidential Shredding Services for the Healthcare Industry

A healthy way to dispose of private information
Doctor-patient confidentiality has been a long-standing tradition. Now, thanks to government regulations such as the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), it's also a legal requirement. Under HIPAA regulations, doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and insurance companies must ensure the privacy of patient-related records, even when they dispose of them, or face significant fines.

Brink’s Document Destruction provides secure on-site shredding services for healthcare providers. In a matter of minutes, confidential materials, from patient charts and invoices to X-rays and film, are quickly transformed into unrecognizable bits that ensure patient privacy, and regulatory compliance.

Brink’s Document Destruction for healthcare includes:
Scheduled Shredding Service: Regularly scheduled shredding, at your location, in our mobile shredding trucks
Archive Shredding Service : One-time periodic on-site shredding of archived files and media

Customized shredding service: In addition to our Scheduled and on-demand shredding services, we offer customized options designed specifically for healthcare companies, including customer-assisted pickup.
Professional personnel: Screened personnel, always in uniform, are in and out of your office quickly with no disruption to your day-to-day operations.
The smallest shred size in the industry: Perfect for healthcare organizations, Brink’s SCS Technology^SM is the most advanced size-controlled shredding system available. X-ray and film shredding is available, too, using the same technology for destruction. Read more on why shred size is important.
Certificate of Destruction: As soon as documents are completely destroyed, we issue a Certificate of Destruction for documented proof of compliance.

What's more, when you shred, you do more than protect patient privacy. You protect the environment, too. Instead of ending up in a landfill, shredded material is recycled into many of the paper-based products you use today. It's good for your company, and it's good for the planet.
