This is much more complicated than our scanning of documents
(numbering,encryption, et.) ridiculously complex if you ask me. Are there
similar guidelines/rules somewhere re storage of clinical records? I assume the
db4s fall uner the same rules as the referrals ??

Thinus,
Yes, this is silly indeed. So 1970s.
Makes using their individual iKeys for secure E-mailing of referrals
seem a breeze by comparison.
Medicare don't have any rules about electronic EHR that I know of, but
the patient-signed DB4 is meant to be kept for 2 years. They aren't
transmitted anywhere.
The college's standards and the PIP IM&T tier rules define what you
should do with electronic clinical data in your practice and the
transmission of it.
