Hi guys
  Quick legal question.  Does anyone know if printed records are required by law?  Can a provider go completely paperless for Patient records?

Thanks
Alfonso

IANAL
depends on what your State laws stablished,
It is fine in New Mexico to scan and trash,
(as long as you can recreate the printed info)
so yes, in NM is possible to go 100% paperless
I dont’ know about others,
