On the basis of return-visit patterns, a method is presented for determining which medical records should be kept in the active file and how long such records should be kept active for criteria of desired file size, desired probability of record use, desired percentage of successful file searches, and relative cost of storage in active and inactive files. The method is relevant to both physical and computerized medical record files and can incorporate any additional sets of variables that define patient groups with distinct return-visit patterns. Implementation of the system in the Lahey Clinic is described, and possibilities for further refinement of the method are discussed.
基于回访模式，提出了一种方法，用于确定哪些医疗记录应保存在现行档案中，以及这些记录应在现行状态下保存多长时间，以满足预期档案大小、记录使用概率、成功档案检索百分比以及现行和非现行档案存储相对成本等标准。该方法适用于纸质和计算机化医疗记录档案，并且可以纳入任何其他定义具有不同回访模式患者群体的变量集。文中描述了该系统在Lahey诊所的实施情况，并讨论了进一步完善该方法的可能性。
