There are a couple of ways to do this.

I'm sure Indy could separate the database, but then how would the licensure work for AC? Would she have to buy her own copy? While she was under a provider license, using an entire copy of the program, when it is still being used by the original practice would perhaps warrant purchasing another practice copy. This would have to be cleared with AC, I could see them doing this a number of ways. I do realize that she is using it for archival purposes, hopefully so will they and come up with a solution.

Another option would be to print copies of all the records to PDF and she takes a disk with the PDFs with her. Time consuming, yes, depending on the number of patients, but perhaps not more so than splitting the database. Easy to access, easy to print off a copy either digitally or paper, and it does not take a lot of space. This would also leave a notation in the chart that the records were "released" to her.
