			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re in the medical field and you need to write your medical record retention policy, a good sample record retention policy can be found at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) policy website <a target="_blank" href="http://www.utmb.edu/Policies_And_Procedures/Compliance_Related/PNP_005046">here</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s interesting to see that they permanently retain their medical records.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an excerpt:</p>
<blockquote><p>The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB)<br />
permanently retains medical records for patient care, education,<br />
research and to meet legal requirements.</p>
<p>The Health Information Management Department (HIM) is<br />
responsible for maintaining these records regardless of medium type.<br />
This includes all microfilm/fiche, paper or electronic, computer-based<br />
systems that may be retired because of improved systems operations,<br />
upgrades, or a conversion to alternate application.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>An archived copy of the policy is here: <a href="http://www.datasecuritypolicies.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/medical-record-retention-policy.pdf" title="Medical Record Retention Policy">Medical Record Retention Policy</a></p>
<p>Check it out!</p>
