What are your new year’s resolutions this year? Perhaps you’d like to eat less sweets, and more vegetables. Perhaps you’d like to integrate more exercise into your daily life, or take more time for yourself to pray or meditate.

Goal-setting for your golden years

Perhaps you have professional goals as well – if you’re a doctor, perhaps you’re resolving to finally retire in the coming year. 2016 could be the ideal time for you to make a fresh start and move onto the next adventure in your life. While fulfilling patients’ medical needs can be incredibly rewarding, it’s also very demanding, ­­­and it can really start to take a toll after decades of dedicated service.

Benefits of retirement

Retirement could be the start of a beautiful new chapter of your life. You’ll be able to focus on your family more, and perhaps you’ll take up a new hobby or two to fill your time. Perhaps you’re thinking of tackling some big goals, such as running a half marathon, starting a charity, or writing a book, or perhaps you’d like to just drift along for a little while, enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

Don’t stress out about patient records anymore

But before you get to that point, there are some important practical considerations you need to keep in mind to make your retirement as smooth as possible. One of the forefront tasks that will need to be accomplished before your retirement is handling your patient records. Many of your patients have been under your care for years—decades, even—and their extensive medical records are very valuable.
