This information is often highly confidential and falls under stringent privacy laws, such as those from HIPAA, to ensure patient privacy and data security.

Therefore, using cross cut shredders that comply with HIPAA regulations is essential for healthcare facilities to safely and effectively destroy sensitive information.
