What is Records Management
Records management. We talk a lot about it around here. In fact, it’s not only in our name, it’s in our blood. However, few may know what it is or why it’s important to their company.
Records are the documents that provide all the important evidence of your company’s business. Medical records, business documents, legal filings, or other sensitive information are all obvious records that should be kept. Other pieces of information related to your business may need to be kept as well. All the information created, sent and received in the course of doing business is potentially a record. They keep track of what happened, who made the decision, and what was expected to happen next.
Records management is the handling and storage of those important documents.
Why is Records Management Important?
Managing information — keeping it, tracking it, and being able to retrieve it — protects your business and makes everyone’s job easier. If your records are well-managed you can:
- easily locate documents or information when needed
- reuse previous documents, information, or completed work to avoid “re-creating the wheel”
- determine the most recent, or official, version of a document
- prove why a decision was made or a process implemented
- keep important documents and sensitive information secure
- protect yourself, your clients, and your business
