Color Coding file folders is a step you can take to enhance filing efficiency, as people can recognize color or patterns more readily than individual characters. Individual colors can be used to identify:* First letter or number of file (all \A's\" are blue, all \"B's\" are yellow, etc.)* Groups of patients with same insurance or payment plans* Types of patients (especially useful for multi-specialty practices)* An individual doctor's patients within a multiple practitioner office* Color coding enables immediate identification of misfiles within letters or number blocks"
