Electronic Records Backup, Archive & Retrieval Strategy

In the past, physicians archiving paper records had to only worry about the physical location and condition of the paper record. With an EHR a physician has to worry about how to retrieve a digital record that was created with a software or version no longer being used and even how to keep an audit trail to prove a record was not tampered with.

As compliance requirements for archiving records become more stringent, and more records become digital, changes in technology and software programs may make retrieving digital records almost impossible in 10-15 years without proper planning. In addition, even properly maintained backup tapes and other media won’t last forever requiring records to be periodically reloaded. Having a seamless archive and retrieval strategy is imperative. Excellence in Healthcare will assist in setting up an electronic records backup, archive & retrieval strategy including best practices for maintaining an end-to-end chain of custody throughout the record lifecycle.
