Our Community Services Board has a number of group homes for mentally retarded consumers. Many of the individuals in these homes have resided there for upwards of 10 years. There is daily documentation maintained on these individuals. Do the daily notes comprise part of the "medical record" and how long are we required to keep the daily notes. Obviously ten years or more of daily documentation can cause a storage nightmare and we're looking to purge some of these files.
