Guest guest Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I have been looking for information regarding how long a service should hold on to their printed copies of service reports. Most agencies appear to have moved forward with complete EPCR therefore completely eliminating the paper report itself. I began using the EPCR in my jurisdiction years ago but was still required to print a report and file it. Again, I cannot find anywhere in TAC or rules and policies that dictate how long a service should keep these “paper†reports filed. It seems like most agencies I have talked with about this topic typically keep their paper reports filed for 7 years. So, my questions are: If you have printed paper EMS reports, how long should you keep them before destroying them? If those same reports are also backed up via electronic storage device, can you destroy your paper reports you have filed and taking up space?
