Folders with fasteners and dividers are used to create a file within a file. Sturdy dividers have fasteners on both sides to let you store information under several subdivisions in a single folder. For example a folder with three dividers has eight separate places for documents.

Legal and Letter Size Classification Folders, sometime referred to as classification binders, with built in dividers open like a book with from one to three pages. The front and back covers of the ‘book’ have metal prong fasteners fastened to them. The ‘pages’ dividers have fasteners on both sides.

Classification Folders are available in a range of colors : Blue, Executive Red, Pacific Blue, Palm Green, Yellow, Grey, Red, Blue, Deep Red, Green, Moss Green, Royal Blue, Manila.

Two styles of fasteners are available. Folders with classic steel fasteners are the less expensive . The new SafeShield fastener, available on all press board Smead classification folders, and on manila folders for a small upcharge, is plastic coated for less wear and tear on documents and fingers. They also are less subject to crinkling from repeated use.

The British Medical Association is calling on the Department of Health to suspend the roll-out of summary care records.

The BMA said the project was being accelerated and it had serious concerns that patients are not getting the information they needed to decide whether or not they want their medical records put onto a centralised system. The doctors group wants opt-out forms to be included in the information packs which are currently being sent out to patients.

The group is writing to health minister Mike O’Brien to ask him to stop the letters going out until they have an opt-out form included.

Dr Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the council at the BMA, said:

The break-neck speed with which this programme is being implemented is of huge concern. Patients’ right to opt out is crucial, and it is extremely alarming that records are apparently being created without them being aware of it. If the process continues to be rushed, not only will the rights of patients be damaged, but the limited confidence of the public and the medical profession in NHS IT will be further eroded.

The BMA is advising doctors to make sure they have opt-out forms available in surgeries and that they have a crucial role in advising patients about their rights.

The Department of Health has yet to respond to this letter but last time it was asked about this issue it said there had been very few complaints about the project, even though about six million letters had been sent out. Opt-out requests so far have been less than one per cent of that total and over a million patients have already had their records uploaded

“Ooops! – Darn! – Shoot!…………Mother told me to not use those words, but when users return folders with the papers loose and out of order it is hard not to. All of our documents are punched at the top and are supposed to be securely held by the fastener prongs. Maybe because the folders crinkle up and are hard to use they must just think that if it is that hard to do it can’t as important as other things. So I have to make sure that the documents are on the prongs in order. I am supposed to file and keep track of folders.”

There, there dear, don’t be so upset.”
