How long should records be kept? Although states may have different guidelines or laws, The Doctors Company recommends the following: Adult patients, 10 years from the date the patient was last seen. Minor patients, 28 years from the patient's birth. Deceased patients, five years from the date of death.
To sum up: Paper can last centuries. Electronic records currently last about 10-20 years unless they are migrated to new formats/media. [Above: a closeup of a page from a Gutenberg Bible, about 550 years old and still going strong.]
