Shredders

A device that shreds paper so it becomes illegible.

A shredder is of importance to your practice because you hold confidential information. Any document that is confidential needs to be destroyed in a manner that someone cannot read. This will prevent identity theft/fraud.

When going paperless, you will end up discarding your paper charts. Shredding services would be the quickest method to shred your documents.

Types of shredders:

  • Mobile Shredding Truck: Truck that shreds your documents on-site.
  • Shredding Services: Companies that shred on-site using a mobile shredder or have an off-site location.
  • Strip-cut Shredder: This is the least secure type of shredder.
  • Cross-cut Shredder: Uses two contra-rotating drums to cut rectangular, parallelogram or diamond-shaped shreds.
  • Particle-cut Shredder: Shred into tiny square/circular pieces.
  • Disintegrators: Cut paper at random and are small enough to pass through a mesh.
  • Hammermills: Paper is pounded through a screen.
  • Pierce and Tear: Using rotating blades it pierces and then tears the paper apart.
  • Grinders: Grinds the paper until it is small enough to fit through a screen.

    I received recommendations from your site about 8-9 months ago, after answering 160 questions. I actually selected and purchased an EMR software program that your site recommended. I have been completely "live" with it for about 6 weeks and things are going well. It is the perfect program for me.

    After entering my practice parameters into the EMRConsultant.com algorithm I was provided with three choices for an EMR. We had all three provide demonstrations to us and we chose one of those three. What I liked about the program we chose is its versatility and flexibility, which is exactly one of the parameters I put into the algorithm. The EMR vendor has great customer service, and installation and training was almost a breeze. Physician's interested in an EMR without prior knowledge will greatly benefit from their algorithm.

    Your information was very helpful in providing us with a better understanding of the EMR industry, particularly as it relates to ARRA and the HITECH Act. I had no idea there were so many EHR/EMR vendors! We reviewed 10 vendors and selected one of those that you recommended. We are happy with our selection so far. Thank you!

    Working with Dr. Fishman was fantastic. His background as an actual physician EMR user makes his service particularly credible. He has a wealth of experience in health care IT that he generously shares with others. I would highly recommend emrconsultant to any organization looking for an EMR product today.
