Context

Healthcare providers need to understand data retention policies for lab results stored on Junction's platform to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and manage their data archiving strategy.

Answer

Lab results on Junction are retained for 7 years from the date of creation, in compliance with HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) requirements.

This retention period is automatically enforced, and you do not need to take any immediate action to download or archive results. However, if you wish to maintain your own records, you can download lab results at any time during this retention period.
