This category is for discussion of Healthcare Archival and what the digital health community needs to do to ensure healthcare records are available for their primary purpose - patient care - for as long as patients require them to be kept. Additionally we must support the preservation of records where ethically and legally required for research, medicolegal and historical purposes.
