Health records [i] form one of the most important groups of documents [ii]. One of the reasons for this importance is that these records are directly related to the issue of life and death of individuals. With the development of science and the advancement of health care methods, the production of such records intensified and their importance and number increased day by day, although today, with the help of computers, the rapid growth of physical records and the accumulation of archives has decreased. However, sometimes the redundancy of data and even useless information prevents researchers in this field from obtaining the required information quickly and accurately. Although some health researchers, especially physicians, may be inclined to keep all records because of their research goals, this is generally not possible. For best results, document managers work with archivists to assign records. In fact, the result of valuation by archivists is the transfer of temporary value records to stagnant (national) archives and records with permanent retention value (documents) to the archive, and the issuance of permits for the destruction of worthless securities. In this article, the value of health records, the reasons and how to evaluate them, methods of identifying valuable records and worthless records will be examined.
