Develop a medical record retention schedule for various types of records you would use at a health care facility.

Create a table of 4-5 items that identifies the type of record and how long the record must be kept.
Apply at least one example, which should include information pertaining to Medicare records and an example of records retention related to minors.
Verify and include information pertaining to retention periods according to state and federal law.
Additional examples of information that may be included involve reporting other guidelines, such as insurance or accreditation, that may apply.
