Mobile shelving for medical records is transforming the way health information management departments store paper files. Despite the shift towards digital records, the need for an efficient, on-site storage solution remains crucial. Mobile shelving offers a versatile, space-saving, and secure way to manage your medical records.

Movable metal shelving units with crank handles in a modern storage facility offer efficient medical records organization. The mostly empty units reveal shelves and a track system on the floor, designed for seamless health information management storage.

Mobile Shelving for Medical Records

Mobile shelving has always been the go-to solution for storing paper medical records. As digitalization took over, the need for paper storage declined, with many institutions turning to off-site storage companies like Iron Mountain. However, since 2020, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of mobile shelving. Rising costs of off-site storage retrieval have made investing in on-site mobile shelving a wise choice. Mobile shelving not only cuts costs but also keeps records within immediate reach and under your control.
