After 8 years in private practice (5 using AC) I am thinking of closing my practice and joining a local health care organization as an employed provider. The downside is loss of autonomy and the use of EPIC, but the upsides are numerous (better pay, IT support, no administrative duties, etc.).
Since I would not technically be selling my practice, just shutting it down, I'm wondering how best to keep records that are stored in AC. I really don't want to have to maintain a computer with AC on it, just to access records for the next 10 years. Does anyone know of an automated process to print all patient records as a batch? I'd prefer to save complete records with all imported documents as a pdf file for each patient. That way I can store the records on DVDs and access as needed.
Anyone have an idea how I can do this? Anyone have a better idea?
