A folder per patient should work but you would probably want to break them
up into different document libraries by their MRN (as I recall there is a
special way of using the MRN to file paper charts, should work in this case
also. Something about using the last 4 digits as the first 4 digits...).
An event sink would work also depending on the number of documents uploaded
at any given time.

Seems to me I remember MS-HUG (Hospital User Group) using SPS 2003 for
something like this. May be worth your time to take a look.

greatly appreciated. I am developing a portal for a group of physicians with
25,000 charts,  new charts created at a rate of 1200 per year. The charts
have sections Consult Notes, Progress notes, Lab Reports, Xray Reports. The
documents will be MS Word 2003 and scanned or faxed images. ~25 documents
per chart on average. I noted the 10,000 dcoument limit in a folder so
haveing one folder for each of the sections is out. I am considering a
document library for each individual patient with custom fields for document
category etc. I amalso considering  a single site with a library for
document upload and an event sink to put the documents in the correct
individual folder. Does this sound appropriate?
