With years of experience, CAS is a specialist in sophisticated archive storage, including secure patient records storage. Storing medical records off-site in CAS warehouses is cost-effective, as it frees up space at GP surgeries. Whether it’s a digital or hard copy, all documents are stored in high-security, fire-proofed warehousing
If GP surgeries choose off-site storage with CAS, they can still fulfil obligations set out by the health sector regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC). CAS’s professional document handling teams provide peace of mind that our services comply with the 2014 NHS England Confidentiality Policy. CAS is an ISO certified provider with industry-leading accreditation, which should assure GP practices that we can provide the highest standards of secure document storage.
Thanks to our Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and live-file storage systems, our medical records storage service is also highly efficient. CAS deploys state-of-the-art RFID to individually bar-code and scan storage boxes across all our storage facilities. RFID is one of the most advanced systems to track clients’ documents and provides new levels of accuracy and efficiency far beyond standard barcode management. RFID systems support UK and EU data protection regulations, while RFID asset tracking means faster, more cost-effective report generation. It also enables comprehensive audits to be performed in close to real-time, and a secure audit trail of all clients’ transactions.
With our fully hosted live-file storage system, records that are in constant use can be retrieved, updated and returned to storage 24/7. CAS’s online file storage system comes with customised search criteria that enable authorised personnel to access records remotely from anywhere in the UK. This is facilitated through an advanced and secure, password-protected online portal.
You can read our case study on our work with Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS Trust. This involved relocating and digitising over 20,000 confidential client health care files, which has enabled primary care staff to deliver increased support to children and young people.
