Why Color Coded Filing? It’s estimated that every misfile costs 100 Dollars.
It’s easy to see the cost benefits color-coding can provide.
Considering the hours it can take to find a misplaced file, the lost productivity, and the problems that missing file creates, one hundred is probably on the? low side. That is why color-coded filing systems are so valuable. The human eye quickly sees differences in color, minimizing costly misfiles. As a bonus, both filing and retrieval are significantly faster saving staff time and improving access to every record.

Changing one chart folder at a time will eventually color code the active patient’s files. Over time the inactive records, still in their original folders, will be clearly identified. These records can be stored away for safekeeping just in case an inactive patient returns for care or requests medical history be made available to other parties.
There is another way. Color-Bar one piece strip labels are printed on either ink-jet or laser color printers using standard windows software.
