Tsunami warning system. A tsunami warning system (TWS) is used to detect tsunamis in advance and issue warnings to prevent loss of life and damage. It is made up of two equally important components: a network of sensors to detect tsunamis and a communications infrastructure to issue timely alarms to permit evacuation of the coastal areas.
The law also requires nursing facilities to maintain medical records for each patient. The records must be kept for seven years after the patient is discharged from the facility. If the patient is a minor, the records must be kept for one year after the patient reaches the age of 18, but for at least seven years.
Physician practices are required to keep records at least 10 years from the date that the records were created. Ga. Code Ann. Â§ 31-33- 2(a)(1)(A) and (B)(i) Records stored in a hospital for a patient over the age of majority (18 years old in Georgia) are to be kept for at least 5 years after the discharge date from the facility. If the patient is under 18, records are to be stored 5 years past the age of majority (23 years old, in this case). Ga. Comp.
