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
