Turn Your Office Processes Green
TAMPA, Fla., March 29 /PRNewswire/ — With another Earth Day approaching, many businesses are looking for new ideas on going green. One local expert says changing the way you manage and dispose of files and records can be good for the environment and your business.
“No matter what your business, chances are you have boxes full of confidential files that, at some point, will need to be disposed of,” said Marshall Stevens, co-owner of Stevens & Stevens Business Records Management, a full-service records storage and management center. “Too often those old files end up in a landfill, which is bad for the environment and poses a security problem for your business.”
In order to get a handle on your files in an eco-friendly manner, Stevens suggests establishing a records management and shredding plan. By properly shredding and recycling, you can ensure a greener outcome that’s secure for your business. For an additional “green” option, he suggests utilizing software designed to manage hard copy files that have been converted into electronic format so the amount of paper being used can be reduced.
Stevens says when businesses are looking to go digital with records, seek a solution that will convert all files, no matter what the original format may be, into an electronic format. Then, all files will be housed through a secure, content management system which acts as the new virtual file room. “You’ll save on printing and storage costs, not to mention time spent searching for misplaced files,” he said. “You’re also doing your part by helping keep our air clean, reducing the amount of trees being cut down and preserving water.”
It may seem overwhelming to tackle all this on your own, so Stevens suggests partnering with a firm that specializes in eco-friendly document management and destruction services. He says, “They can help ensure things are being done right and in an environmentally friendly way.”
So this Earth Day, consider establishing a “green” records management policy. It’ll improve efficiencies, make your business more secure and you’ll be kinder to the environment

4:02 AM CDT, March 25, 2010
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Creation of a new home for storage of millions of military records in suburban St. Louis is on track to be completed by next year.
The National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis is the nation’s largest repository for military records.
The center will move to a new, 500,000-square-foot facility in north St. Louis County.
Bryan McGraw of the National Archives and Records Administration told KMOX radio on Wednesday the new facility will allow better handling of the 1.5 million requests for information received each year.
The recession slowed and almost derailed the move to the facility. The project was originally announced in September 2008, days before the financial collapse.

HHS announces $162 million in 16 state HIE grants
March 15, 2010 | Diana Manos, Senior Editor
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius
WASHINGTON – The Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday $162 million in awards to 16 states and qualified state designated entities for the State Health Information Exchange Cooperative Agreement Program.
The funding is part of $2 billion allotted under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) to advance healthcare IT adoption.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said with the awards announced Monday, every state and eligible territory has now been awarded funds under this program.
“These critical investments will help unleash the power of health information technology to cut costs, eliminate paperwork and help doctors deliver high-quality, coordinated care to patients,” Sebelius said.
“States are important partners in improving and expanding our electronic health records system,” she said. “By improving the secure exchange of electronic health records between providers and hospitals within and across states, these awards mark a significant step in bringing our health system into the 21st century.”
David Blumenthal, national coordinator for health information technology said Monday’s awards are critical to enabling care coordination and improving the quality and efficiency of healthcare.
With all states now empowered to start their journey toward identifying innovative ways to break down these barriers that prevent the seamless exchange of information, we can give patients the access to care they deserve and expect, Blumenthal said.
On February 12, 2010, HHS awarded $385 million to 40 states and state designated entities for the state HIE grant program. The awards announced Monday complete the awarding of cooperative agreements funded by this program, Sebelius said.

Read MoreIron Mountain Fine-Tunes Cloud Storage for Medical Records
| By: Chris Preimesberger 2010-03-01
Iron Mountain’s Digital Record Center for Medical Images is designed to back up and archive digital medical information, which often includes large, bulky X-ray files. Due to the sensitivity and importance of medical data, another level of redundancy is built into the package. As data storage gets more sophisticated, with intelligent tiering, automatic deduplication and other eminently useful features, some vendors are beginning to fine-tune their storage products for use in specific vertical markets such as health care and finance. For example, Iron Mountain on March 1 revealed a newly upgraded version of its cloud storage service specifically for medical records. The company made the announcement at the HIMSS Healthcare IT Conference and Exhibition in Boston. IM’s Digital Record Center for Medical Images is designed to back up and archive digital medical information, which often includes large, bulky X-ray files. Due to the important and sensitive nature of medical data, another level of redundancy is built into the package. IM claims that this specialized version of its service provides higher levels of flexibility, increased scalability, and better access and security than its standard cloud storage because it adds an optional on-site storage component to work with the existing cloud service. The company also said health care organizations can configure the service to meet access and disaster recovery requirements. Digital Record Center for Medical Images offers these new capabilities, as listed by Iron Mountain: New Service Options—three service plans for meeting organizations’ unique needs for protection and redundancy: Mirrored Cloud, storing two copies of each medical image offsite; Hybrid Cloud, storing one copy onsite and one offsite; and Hybrid Cloud2, storing a single copy onsite and two copies offsite. Data Shuttle Service—allows organizations to move large volumes of data to Iron Mountain’s data center faster than they could over the Internet. Optional Onsite Storage—In addition to cloud storage, a copy of archived data can also be stored onsite, enabling local access to archives while providing a second copy for disaster-recovery purposes. Digital Record Center for Medical Images is available now. |
