Julie,

The only requirements I have seen that might be "unique" from typical 
corporate records are credentialing files.  Health care providers have 
to be credentialed in order to provide services at hospitals (i.e., 
pass background checks, etc.).  In the State of Florida, there are also 
Agency for Health Care Administration ("AHCA") licensing requirements 
for physicians offices providing Medicaid services.

Thanks Alex, Barbara and the anonymous folks who emailed me offlist.  
Myinterpretation of the comments thus far are that my original 
impressionstands - there isn't anything overly unique about the 
corporate records of ahealthcare entity.  Much like a law firm, the 
business records aregenerally standard stuff, while the practice side 
has many quirks.Granted, as Barbara pointed out, it all depends on 
where you want to drawthe line between practice and business.  The 
practice may indeed drive someunique-ish types of records on the 
business side, but still not completelyforeign.  For example, Board of 
Trustees docs can be found in any non-profit(not just healthcare), 
academic docs are found in all entities who provideeducation, fleet 
maintenance records are in any business who maintainsvehicles (be it 
trucks or helicopters or spaceships), and even 
occupationalexposure/environmental records aren't necessarily unique, 
although for mypurposes here I'd put those on the practice side, not 
the corporate sideunless you're talking about OSHA requirements for 
workplace safety for themechanics who work on your fleet, etc.Again, 
thanks for your insights.  As always, they are spot on and 
muchappreciated!Julie-- Julie J. Colgan,
