What do you leave when you sell up?

Hoping to sell clinic
Every thing is computerised ( treatments Diary etc)

Will leave with full diary of appointments made.

What would you do with your treatment notes?? Do you just let the new owner carry on where you left or should you somehow delete your records, off course you cannot do that in case of litigation in the future so you would have to print them out and keep, not easy for hundreds of Pts.

One would assume a new owner would want to carry out a full assessment on every pt. once they take over and not rely on what I did.

Perhaps someone has carried out selling up and can advise what they did

 

Pauline BS,
Maybe you should have a word with the Information Commissioners' Office (Data Protection)
about this;

or perhaps your Professional Organisation will be able to advise you regarding patient confidentiality?

 

If I were a potential buyer, I would expect patient notes.

Essentials when purchasing a practice include patient notes, first name, surname, d.o.b, address, telephone number/s and email address. No database = no business.

New owners will always reassess patients but will generally add to the notes supplied - not replace them altogether. This is part of the Goodwill component.
