Hi,

Can someone please verify my understanding of the Centera Basic retention periods are correct. OSF Healthcare is going to start archiving HIPAA related information to Centera and I would like to verify that the only way for the data will be deleted is through a manual process, e.g. application program, JCASSCRIPT. The data will remain on Centera for 7+ years.

From Center Online Help: A Centera Basic model does not enforce retention periods and thus allows applications to

delete data regardless of its retention period.
