Document Management: Defining The Business Case For Healthcare

Integrated Solutions

HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and JCAHO (Joint Commission on
Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) place increasing pressure on healthcare organizations to store
and appropriately manage documents and other types of information. These controls require a wide range
of healthcare documents to be kept for specified periods and also impose strict data disposal processes.
They also establish restrictions over access to patient documents and information. For example, leaving a
patient record unsecured on a reception counter can be a violation and subject the organization to
significant HIPAA fines.
