Department of Health Services has an ongoing responsibility for the
information it holds, including properly redacting and discarding or
destroying information that is not retained so that confidential
information is protected. State and federal statutes, rules, and
regulations establish standards for the retention, disposal, or
destruction of confidential information. For example, A.R.S. §
12-2297 and HIPAA deal with retention, disposal, or destruction of
health-related information in any form. A.R.S. § 44-7601 applies
to discarding and disposing of paper records that contain an
individual's name in combination with a social security number or other
identifying number.
