The scary part is that too many regular paper storage vendors don't understand that if they have a single medical record in storage they are now bound by those rules as well... being intimately familiar with the HITECH act I am amazed that local and regional storage companies aren't sending the paper records back to the hospital and refusing to store them. Not to mention data storage vendors...
Want to know just how bad it can be?
