All licensed practitioners with private practices must retain patient records for at least six years. Obstetrical records and records of minor patients must be retained for at least six years, and until one year after the minor patient reaches the age of 21 years. It is unprofessional conduct to fail to maintain a record for each patient which accurately reflects the evaluation and treatment of the patient. Additional information on record keeping can be found in Part 29.2(3) of the Rules of the Board of Regents.
