How do YOU organize the records?

by wooh

Everything I find on organizing medical records seems to say to do it however I want. But I want to know how others are doing it! Tips, tricks, advice?

Default Re: How do YOU organize the records?
Pretty much I take the entire MR, visualize how it should appear in the MR, and start making piles of sections.

I use tabs (customized) to organize each section contained in a 3 or 4 ring binder. When finished, it looks like a MR complete with tabs like one finds in the hospitals/LTC facilities.

There's really not any particular way to do it. Just develop your own way. You'll find you will get faster with this as you go along. It takes time to put a MR together especially if you receive reams of paper and all are totally disorganized.

Good luck.
