{"Image DocumentName": "Rules for Disposal of Computer Equipment", "Image ImageDescription": "Only authorized employees should dispose of PHI in accordance with retention policies. Documents containing PHI or other sensitive information must be shredded when no longer needed. Shred immediately or place in securely locked boxes or rooms to await shredding. All questions concerning media reallocation and disposal should be directed to your HIPAA Security Officer; OIT systems representatives are responsible for sanitization and destruction methods. Media, such as CDs, disks, or thumb drives, containing PHI/sensitive information must be cleaned or sanitized before reallocating or destroying. Sanitize means to eliminate confidential or sensitive information from computer/electronic media by either overwriting the data or magnetically erasing data from the media. If media are to be destroyed, then once they are sanitized, place them in specially marked secure containers for destruction. NOTES: Deleting a file does not actually remove the data from the media. Formatting does not constitute sanitizing the media.
