I have copies of my service medical records, (most of my) private treatment records, and what I believe to be all of my VA treatment records. I am trying to sort these things out as effectively as possible.
Suggestions welcomed! If someone has a better system, please share it!
- Create separate folders/binders for each condition (back, foot, etc...)
- Separate administrative items (shipping receipts, etc...) from actual treatment records
- Copy pages with multiple conditions and file an individual copy in each folder
- Check the back of every page and copy pages with multiple conditions and file an individual copy in each folder
- Anything (non-lab) that does not fit into a particular folder goes into a 'misc' folder
- Anything lab that does not fit into a particular folder goes into a 'misc lab' folder
- Entrance and ETS physicals go into their own folder
- Sort each page in every folder
- Build an inventory sheet for every folder to be kept in each folder (and also kept in a master inventory folder)
- Alphabetize each folder (keeping medical separated from non-medical)
- Use color-coded tabs
- Use colored highlighters
- Make separate note sheet to look up symbols and terms that I do not understand.
