For the record. Understanding patient recordkeeping.
Patient recordkeeping is a vast and complex topic.

The article here explains what the patient record is; why it is maintained and for how long; what it should or should not contain; how to dispose of the record upon retirement, sale of a practice or death, and what to do when a patient wants a copy of the record.
