Before/after images and intake consents are PHI, so they should never live in a personal camera roll, a text thread, or an open shared drive. We set up encrypted, access-controlled storage where photos are tied to signed photo-release consents and only authorized staff can view them. Backups are automatic and encrypted so a lost or stolen phone does not become a breach. This also makes it easy to pull a client’s history for repeat post-surgical recovery packages without hunting through devices.
