jon, (and everyone, really), thanks for the reply!
i guess because the doctors do not need to go to storage, they do not understand the task of finding a file amongst a ton of files that were often not stored in the right place and just sort of boxed up.
we have someone that is scanning our charts now. the only problem is that i feel some resistance in the docs willing to shred the charts despite the fact that we have been working with AC for nearly 5 months and have RARELY, if EVER had to gone back into a chart to retrieve the information. we don't really shred anything! it is frustrating, but i know that people work with what is comfortable to them.
the woman is almost done scanning our patient charts in and i truly believe that she could handle pulling the charts from storage and going through the boxes, inputting what we need or shredding if it past the limit.
my question is : for the charts that are not 7 years old, do we enter them back into amazing charts? even if the person is deceased?
