I believe the answer is yes unless their retention is permanent.
According to the Library of Virginia Records Management Manual,
http://www.lva.virginia.gov/agencies/records/manuals/vprmm.pdf 
"Destroying Records after Reformatting
After records are reformatted, inspected, and approved according to
established standards, the originals may be
destroyed because they are then considered copies. The reformatted
version is now the official copy of record.
The Library of Virginia does not require a Certificate of Records
Destruction (RM-3 Form) for copies. However, any original records with
permanent retention or records created before 1913 must be offered in
writing to the Library of Virginia before destruction of the originals."

Be sure to download a copy of the guide, which provides a great deal of
valuable guidance and information.

We are currently in the process of copying our medical records into an
Electronic Health Records system. We are scanning current records and
attaching them to the specific client's record in the database,
organized in
folders based on the documentation content/function. (i.e. ISPs,
Quarterlies, Financial, Assessments.etc.).

 

I am new to records management and have been trying to determine whether
scanning records into the database allows us then to shred the paper
documentation, or whether we are required to continue to maintain, all
or
part of the medical record IAW current records retention schedules.

 

Can someone steer me in the proper direction to where I might find the
answer? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you - hid

The Virginia Public Records Manual, Chapter 7 Reformatting Records
contains=
 the following information for guidance.


Legality of Reformatted Records

Copies of originals as evidence
Both Code of Virginia (=A7 8.01-391) and federal laws recognize the
legal s=
tatus of copies made from various
sources, including electronic data stored on optical media. The law of
evid=
ence allows accurate and authenticated
copies produced from originals to be admissible as evidence.

Authenticating records requires having written policies and procedures
form=
alizing the recording, storage, or
reproduction of public records. A list of users and their access
privileges=
 should be maintained and audited
regularly. Also, keep audit trails documenting who scanned or edited
images=
 and when this occurred.



Destroying Records after Reformatting

After records are reformatted, inspected, and approved according to
establi=
shed standards, the originals may be
destroyed because they are then considered copies. The reformatted
version =
is now the official copy of record.
The Library of Virginia does not require a Certificate of Records
Destructi=
on (RM-3 Form) for copies. However, any
original records with permanent retention or records created before 1913
mu=
st be offered in writing to the Library
of Virginia before destruction of the originals.

Hid:

Per the Virginia Code section D below, you can designate the electronic
cop=
y as the official record and destroy the scanned paper, unless
specifically=
 prohibited by law.  Since they are mandating across the country that
medic=
al records become EMR's (electronic medical record), I've not seen
anything=
 in Virginia law that mandates you need to retain the paper copy once it
ha=
s been reformatted.  HIPPA does not address this issue specifically, but
as=
 long as the case file is available in its entirety in electronic form
HIPP=
A does not seem to care what form the record is in.

=A7 8.01-391. Copies of originals as evidence.

A. Whenever the original of any official publication or other record has
be=
en filed in an action or introduced as evidence, the court may order the
or=
iginal to be returned to its custodian, retaining in its stead a copy
there=
of. The court may make any order to prevent the improper use of the
origina=
l.

B. If any department, division, institution, agency, board, or
commission o=
f this Commonwealth, of another state or country, or of the United
States, =
or of any political subdivision or agency of the same, acting pursuant
to t=
he law of the respective jurisdiction or other proper authority, has
copied=
 any record made in the performance of its official duties, such copy
shall=
 be as admissible into evidence as the original, whether the original is
in=
 existence or not, provided that such copy is authenticated as a true
copy =
either by the custodian of said record or by the person to whom said
custod=
ian reports, if they are different, and is accompanied by a certificate
tha=
t such person does in fact have the custody.

C. If any court or clerk's office of a court of this Commonwealth, of
anoth=
er state or country, or of the United States, or of any political
subdivisi=
on or agency of the same, has copied any record made in the performance
of =
its official duties, such copy shall be admissible into evidence as the
ori=
ginal, whether the original is in existence or not, provided that such
copy=
 is authenticated as a true copy by a clerk or deputy clerk of such
court.

D. If any business or member of a profession or calling in the regular
cour=
se of business or activity has made any record or received or
transmitted a=
ny document, and again in the regular course of business has caused any
or =
all of such record or document to be copied, the copy shall be as
admissibl=
e in evidence as the original, whether the original exists or not,
provided=
 that such copy is satisfactorily identified and authenticated as a true
co=
py by a custodian of such record or by the person to whom said custodian
re=
ports, if they be different, and is accompanied by a certificate that
said =
person does in fact have the custody. Copies in the regular course of
busin=
ess shall be deemed to include reproduction at a later time, if done in
goo=
d faith and without intent to defraud. Copies in the regular course of
busi=
ness shall include items such as checks which are regularly copied
before t=
ransmission to another person or bank, or records which are acted upon
with=
out receipt of the original when the original is retained by another
party.

The original of which a copy has been made may be destroyed in the
regular =
course of business unless its preservation is required by law, or its
valid=
ity has been questioned.

E. The introduction in an action of a copy under this section neither
precl=
udes the introduction or admission of the original nor the introduction
of =
a copy or the original in another action.

F. Copy, as used in this section, shall include photographs,
microphotograp=
hs, photostats, microfilm, microcard, printouts or other reproductions
of e=
lectronically stored data, or copies from optical disks, electronically
tra=
nsmitted facsimiles, or any other reproduction of an original from a
proces=
s which forms a durable medium for its recording, storing, and
reproducing.

Good answer, Bob. =20

And, to strengthen the language in =A7 8.01-391, HB 1284 was introduced
=
in this year's General Assembly.  While this bill applies predominantly
=
to circuit court clerks' offices, and the proposed amendment to =A7 =
8.01-391 doesn't appear to be significant at first glance, creating a =
new paragraph E. for the one sentence that pertains to the destruction =
of the original after copying will solidify that this provision applies

not just businesses in sub-section D. =

The Virginia Public Records Manual, Chapter 7 Reformatting Records =
contains the following information for guidance.

=20

=20

Legality of Reformatted Records

=20

Copies of originals as evidence

Both Code of Virginia (=A7 8.01-391) and federal laws recognize the =
legal status of copies made from various

sources, including electronic data stored on optical media. The law of =
evidence allows accurate and authenticated

copies produced from originals to be admissible as evidence.

=20

Authenticating records requires having written policies and procedures =
formalizing the recording, storage, or

reproduction of public records. A list of users and their access =
privileges should be maintained and audited

regularly. Also, keep audit trails documenting who scanned or edited =
images and when this occurred.

=20

=20

=20

Destroying Records after Reformatting

=20

After records are reformatted, inspected, and approved according to =
established standards, the originals may be

destroyed because they are then considered copies. The reformatted =
version is now the official copy of record.

The Library of Virginia does not require a Certificate of Records =
Destruction (RM-3 Form) for copies. However, any

original records with permanent retention or records created before 1913
=
must be offered in writing to the Library

of Virginia before destruction of the originals.

Since the original question was pertaining to medical records, COV =
section 32.1 - 127.1:01 addresses medical record storage in alternative
=
formats (microfilm, electronic, etc).

=A7 32.1-127.1:01 =
<http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?000+cod+32.1-127.1C01> . =
Record storage.=20

A. Medical records, as defined in =A7 42.1-77 =
<http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?000+cod+42.1-77> , may be =
stored by computerized or other electronic process or microfilm, or =
other photographic, mechanical, or chemical process; however, the stored
=
record shall identify the location of any documents or information that
=
could not be so technologically stored. If the technological storage =
process creates an unalterable record, the nursing facility, hospital or
=
other licensed health care provider shall not be required to maintain =
paper copies of medical records that have been stored by computerized or
=
other electronic process, microfilm, or other photographic, mechanical,
=
or chemical process. Upon completing such technological storage, paper =
copies of medical records may be destroyed in a manner that preserves =
the patient's confidentiality. However, any documents or information =
that could not be so technologically stored shall be preserved.=20

B. Notwithstanding the authority of this section to copy patient records
=
in the form of microfilm, prescription dispensing records maintained in
=
or on behalf of any pharmacy registered or permitted in Virginia shall =
only be stored in compliance with =A7=A7 54.1-3410 =
<http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?000+cod+54.1-3410> , =

54.1-3412 =
<http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?000+cod+54.1-3412> .=20

(1994, c. 390 =
<http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?941+ful+CHAP0390> ; 1998, =
c. 470 <http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?981+ful+CHAP0470> .)
=


However, a best practice (as gleaned from AHIMA) is to maintain a =
chronological file containing each day's work for 90 days then destroy =
after completing the QC process.  When starting out, it's good to =
perform 100% review on what has been imaged.  Once team members meet a =
pre-determined accuracy threshold (ours is 96%), then a 10% review of =
documents on each individual performing the imaging function is adequate
=
(unless the threshold isn't being met at which time some targeted =
re-training may be necessary).  We report our results at the quarterly =
compliance meeting.=20

Hope this is helpful!

And, to strengthen the language in =A7 8.01-391, HB 1284 was introduced
=
in this year's General Assembly.  While this bill applies predominantly

to circuit court clerks' offices, and the proposed amendment to =A7 =

Legality of Reformatted Records

Copies of originals as evidence

Both Code of Virginia (=A7 8.01-391) and federal laws recognize the =
legal status of copies made from various

evidence allows accurate and authenticated

copies produced from originals to be admissible as evidence.

formalizing the recording, storage, or

reproduction of public records. A list of users and their access =
privileges should be maintained and audited

regularly. Also, keep audit trails documenting who scanned or edited =
images and when this occurred.

Destroying Records after Reformatting

=20

After records are reformatted, inspected, and approved according to =
established standards, the originals may be

destroyed because they are then considered copies. The reformatted =
version is now the official copy of record.

The Library of Virginia does not require a Certificate of Records =
Destruction (RM-3 Form) for copies. However, any

original records with permanent retention or records created before 1913
=
must be offered in writing to the Library

of Virginia before destruction of the originals.

Subject: Electronic Health Records

=20

We are currently in the process of copying our medical records into an =
Electronic Health Records system. We are scanning current records and =
attaching them to the specific client's record in the database, =
organized in folders based on the documentation content/function. (i.e.
=
ISPs, Quarterlies, Financial, Assessments...etc.).

=20

I am new to records management and have been trying to determine whether
=
scanning records into the database allows us then to shred the paper =
documentation, or whether we are required to continue to maintain, all =
or part of the medical record IAW current records retention schedules.

=20

Can someone steer me in the proper direction to where I might find the =
answer? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

=20

Thank you - hid
