Deliver impactful outcomes through actionable health data insights

Healthcare professionals rely on various data sources to provide competent patient care. As healthcare organisations adopt digital transformation, their practitioner's capacity to provide such care increases.

Patient medical records, health information, critical documents and many others are managed in physical files and through electronic record systems. By managing medical records, patient charts and personal data with precision and safety, Iron Mountain ensures your organisation can focus every employee’s attention on patient health rather than document management.

By guarding your sensitive data through superior medical records management systems, Iron Mountain ensures the secure storage of your valued assets. Trusted, protected and guarded, your data is in safe hands, allowing those in the healthcare industry to concentrate on providing exceptional care to those in need.

How Iron Mountain improves digital processes in the medical field

How can I remedy a lack of standard health data management processes?

Inconsistent health records management policies can lead to unnecessary costs, lack of data integrity, increased burden on clinical staff, and risks associated with compliance and patient privacy.

Our enterprise-wide records and data management solutions strengthen privacy, security, and compliance. We help reduce the complexity around retention, digitisation, and disposal of medical records.

What if my patient records are stuck in the past?

Patient records hold information that is of the utmost confidentiality. The days of hard-copy printouts are all but obsolete. Cabinets packed with confidential paperwork are not only a potential onsite security risk but also take up an inordinate amount of real estate, especially in the offices of smaller practices.

Securely digitise your records with analytical insights that accelerate innovation, improve clinical productivity, and enhance patient experiences with our transformative digital solutions.

How can I fix outdated data and security protocols?

Healthcare IT has—and will—continue to evolve as data grows exponentially. Managing the complexity around securing this data, eliminating potential risks, creating business rules, and preventing data breaches is now a priority for organisations.

Iron Mountain’s portfolio of data compliance and security solutions helps you stay current with regulations, prevent threats, and maintain control of your data with confidence.

What is the best way to manage a growing inventory of pathology slides and blocks?

Tracking, locating, and retrieving slides and blocks is challenging; you need to transform your lab operations and empower your pathologists.

Iron Mountain’s digital pathology solutions offer slide digitisation for intelligent analysis, streamlined operations, and protection of your invaluable assets.

The need for security of patient records cannot be overstated. Managing patient medical records in accordance with patient data regulations can be complex at the best of times.

All patient data has a lifecycle. This means patient records are taken, saved and destroyed to protect and keep information secure. The retention of a patient’s medical records must end to maintain compliance and security. When the retention period expires, all patient data is to be uniformly and completely destroyed. However, if patient medical record collection, retention and deletion are not streamlined, errors often occur.

The to-do list of medical practices might overwhelm patient data systems, and documents can be waylaid or forgotten. Human error and accidents happen, which can result in the loss or misplacement of patients’ medical records. If the system of patient data collection is not streamlined, patient information may live on, unprotected and vulnerable. Managing medical record systems will alleviate these issues, preserving patient data and ensuring medical records—whether physical files or in an electronic records system—are safely and completely dealt with.

Managing the data lifecycle in accordance with scales of data quality and compliance is vital. Authorised healthcare providers must have access to patient medical records during the data lifecycle, and structures must be implemented in accordance with governmental digital policies. Iron Mountain oversees the implementation and correction of management systems so that health information can be protected at all stages of the patient data lifecycle. Iron Mountain is fully equipped to securely destroy and dispose of patient data at the end of the retention period.

Whether in paper format or through Electronic Medical Records systems, Iron Mountain ensures security and compliance with government guidelines, establishing confidence in your organisation’s medical records management system.
