Keep Employees and Patients Safe
Paper Records and Forms
Employee and patient PII and PHI is everywhere across healthcare departments, offices, and hospitals. To be HIPAA compliant, these documents need to not only be properly stored, but properly disposed of as well. SEM offers a variety of paper shredders that vary in throughput, size, and speed to meet any volume.
Electronic Data
As patient information continues to be digitized and stored on servers, the risk for a breach or leak increases exponentially. While cybersecurity should be a top priority, it is also critical that old computers, HDDs, and SSDs that house PII and PHI are properly disposed of to ensure no information can be recovered.
Access Cards and IDs
For secure facilities and locations within healthcare operations, access cards and IDs are required to enter. To ensure that these cards don’t fall into the wrong hands, it is best practice to securely destroy these cards once they reach end-of-life.
