Healthcare technology retirement in Detroit
From its Livonia headquarters, eLake coordinates healthcare electronics projects for organizations across the Detroit area. That is useful when a clinic, medical office, health system department or care organization needs a clear path for accumulated devices rather than a generic consumer drop-off.
Tell us what is leaving service, where data may reside and what closeout records your team needs. We can coordinate pickup and logistics, then align accepted equipment with data services, recycling and any Value Recovery opportunity.

Align the disposition plan
Confirm accepted equipment, applicable data handling, logistics and the records agreed for the project.
Clear the retired technology
Coordinate the collection and disposition of the equipment, including recycling, data services and any recovery path.
Receive the closeout records

Common questions
Can you handle a small batch of retired clinic electronics?
Yes. A project does not need to be a full facility decommissioning. Describe the equipment and data concerns, and eLake can discuss an appropriate accepted stream and the records needed for that batch.
How is PHI addressed on retired devices?
Applicable data-bearing media can be handled through wiping/media sanitization or physical destruction, using NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 as guidance. Proof of erasure or an applicable Certificate of Data Destruction can be agreed for the project.
Will a BAA be part of the project?
Healthcare data-handling obligations and any applicable Business Associate Agreement requirements should be discussed during project coordination. Specific agreement terms and records depend on the engagement.
What documentation can our team receive?
Agreed documentation may include a Certificate of Data Destruction, Certificate of Recycling, Disposition Report, Asset Inventory Manifest, Chain of Custody Record, Erasure Proof and ESG reporting, as applicable to the service.
