STORAGE

At CRS we have developed an operation that is designed to handle hardcopy documents on a short term or long term basis. Our imaging services usually require us to store hardcopy records after digitizing them for a year or two.  In the process we have incorporated a long term storage service for clients that just want to store hardcopy documents. Sometimes clients choose both options.

CRS has made storing and retrieving hardcopy records simple, convenient and cost-efficient.  Our state-of-the-art storage facilities are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and feature box racking, climate controlled air, and anti-theft security and fire protection systems. A staff of document specialists is on-site at all times to ensure vital documents remain safe, intact and readily accessible.

To speed retrieval and ensure greater traceability throughout a record’s active lifecycle, the highly skilled specialists at CRS can index the medical records on-site at the hospital using our enhanced barcode technology. This generates an accurate records listing prior to off-site delivery. Once indexed, the records are boxed to further protect them from hazards such as water, light or other elements. These records are then shipped to a secure CRS storage facility. The boxes are logged into inventory and assigned a retention/location code enabling effective tracking of retrievals and returns.
