What are the charting criteria?
|
• All written entries are made in indelible ink.
• Highlighting over writing is not used as it accelerates ink fading and may not be legible when photocopied; underscoring is permitted. • All written records are clearly legible. • There are no blank spaces between entries. • All pages are in chronological order, consecutively numbered and dated. • A consistent format is used throughout the chart for recording the date e.g. dd/mm/yy, OR mm/dd/yy. • All chart entries are recorded as soon as possible after the patient encounter while the details are fresh in the Registrant’s mind. • Generally accepted medical abbreviations may be used. A legend of abbreviations/codes is in the appointment record and/or accessible elsewhere in the office. |
