Closing your medical practice and retiring is extremely exciting, but it does not come without a bit of frustration and some hassle. Take document management for example…what are you expected to do with all of those old medical records? You can’t simply throw them out. In fact, there are strict guidelines when it comes to handling medical information.
Why does document management in my medical practice matter?
You might not realize how crucial document management is for retiring physicians, but it is actually essential that you take care with how medical records and files are handled. Medical records contain sensitive information and thus they cannot just be thrown out like regular garbage. In fact, some medical information and files need to be kept for specified amounts of time with patient’s ensured access to them.
What if I’m struggling with my document management?
If you are planning to close your medical practice and retire, it’s not surprising that you might struggle with document management. You might literally have hundreds of thousands of pages that need to be reviewed and either securely shredded or stored.
