Dataownership? Industry experts have made it clear that it is the healthcare facility who owns their patient data and not the EMR vendor. Healthcare providers have the ownership and responsibility to retain the historical medical records. With Triyam, your facility now has the freedom to take your data with them. How much of your data will be converted? Many EMR vendors will not convert all of your old financial and clinical data. Triyam does not convert just ‘some data’ but converts ‘all data’ to your new system. Plus, Triyam has an archival software solution to store converted data in HIPAA compliant environment. Will your facility be compliant? Many states require a minimum six years of data retention, for both clinical and financial data. Also the Release of Information for patients is mandated to be 10 days or less in many states. Triyam helps you define a data retention policy for your facility and stay compliant to it.
