The Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York is just beginning the process
of writing a retention schedule and creating a records management
program.  We have drafted a record destruction policy and form, which
brings me to my question:  we would ultimately like this form to be
web-based and have the information (who destroyed what when) be
maintained and searchable in some kind of database.  We have the staff
capability here to do a whole ColdFusion/Access database thing, or
someone has suggested the use of Adobe to create a PDF form that then
allows you to search the information and export it to database software
if desired.   I have searched the List archives and have not found
anything on how institutions are creating and handling these forms/data.
Since we are starting from scratch and have in-house tech people, we can
aim high, but I would like to hear what others are doing and what works
in the real world.

Thanks!
