The summer going into senior year of college is generally considered to be a memorable one. For years the word summer meant a break from a full-time job as a student where many were able to enjoy the long, hot days outside or spending time with friends. Now at the cusp of a new chapter in my life summers are likely to look very different than what I am used to. Hopefully soon after graduation, I will be working somewhere truly making a difference in people’s lives which is how I felt at my Purview summer internship experience.

Purview’s solutions offer clients the possibility of accessing critical medical information remotely, from anywhere with an internet connection, at any time.

Because of the sensitive nature of the protected health information (or PHI) shared and stored in Purview solutions, we have implemented multiple safety and security measures to keep you and your patients safe.

The medical records that you currently have in your practice need to be retained in accordance with your local jurisdiction's laws. Some doctors choose to just keep the legacy data on their workstations or where it was originally stored. Others consider options like migrating that data onto the cloud. While the choice to migrate data over to the cloud is personal, we have worked with a lot of clients who consider what to do with their legacy data and recommend considering the following before making your decision.
