Paul,
I think I will not scan everything in from the old charts. I think I will perhaps scan just the last year or so of labs, radiology, consults, etc. and then store the charts in another room here in my office. I would like to open up my space where the charts are right now because I can use it for something else. If I find I need something from the paper record later, it can then be scanned in. I am counting on a lot of my older patients leaving (one way or another) before I do. Those that are still left when I decide to call it quits I may then scan the rest of their paper charts into one big folder and store it somewhere on my server which I can keep at home (or in my coffin as I alluded in an earlier post).
