<p>One of the retirement communities I used to work with put all of their residents’ medical records on a small flash drive that the resident could keep in their purse or wallet. I haven’t done this, but it remains on my “to do” list. I like the concept of putting everything important into the computer and then saving it onto a flash drive. If you break a hip or are in a car accident, the list of medications you are taking, important contact numbers, etc. are all right there. Those little flash drives can hold a lot of stuff and really replaces the need to have dozens of different files.</p>
