When converting from paper charts to EMRs the original paper charts should be destroyed. Depending on the office, they may chose to store in a secure location instead of destroying it. Destroying these documents would be shredding them. This way you are secure in knowing you are protecting the patient's privacy. I like the idea of the conversion as well as having the ability to store the original charts
