For how long must records related to a felony filed with the board be retained?

Records related to a felony filed with the board must be retained for three years. This retention period is designed to ensure that there is adequate documentation available should any subsequent issues arise related to the felony, which could involve compliance, monitoring, or reviewing the practitioner's conduct.

Retaining records for this duration allows for both accountability and transparency in the chiropractic profession. Moreover, it helps protect patient safety and supports legal and regulatory compliance within the healthcare system. Keeping these records ensures that both the practitioner and the board can reference the information if needed during investigations or assessments, thereby maintaining a high standard of practice.
