The three types of archiving medical records include:
Physical storage. It involves storing medical records in a traditional paper-based format. It requires secure storage facilities with controlled access to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the records.
Digital archiving. Medical records are stored electronically within Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. It improves accessibility, allows for efficient data retrieval, and supports integration with other healthcare systems.
Offsite storage for disaster recovery. This involves storing copies of medical records at a separate location to ensure data preservation in case of emergencies that could impact the primary storage facility.
