Business Records

Healthcare facilities are also businesses, and with the closing of a hospital come business records with their own specialized procedures and retention policies. Cariend is uniquely equipped to handle business records with the same precision and expertise we use with your medical records.

We often are asked, “how long do I need to keep business records?” The answer is nuanced and complex, but rest assured, our staff has the expertise to answer it for every category of business record. Our staff members will walk you through the business logistics of closing, consulting with experts and agencies, including the IRS and the Small Business Association, as well as state agencies attuned to your location’s specific requirements.

Leveraging our expertise in handling complex and highly regulated medical records, Cariend utilizes the same care and processes for managing non-medical records. Applications include custodial services for:

  • Bankruptcies
    Providing a centralized, secure location and organization assistance with all record types for bankrupt or liquidated businesses.
  • Revenue Management
    Supporting the needs of winding down the open revenue management items in a closing business.
  • Human Resources (HR)
    Enabling former employees to obtain copies of key information after the former employer ceases operations and preserving this record set for potential litigation.
  • Acquisitions
    Maintaining legacy record sets of acquired businesses.
  • Information Escrow
    Providing a responsible and neutral third-party information management resource, for items such as prescription drug trial records, litigation, and fraud investigations.
