Hcr/210 Week 6 Checkpoint

Record Organization HCR/210 January 15, 2012 There be a few differences and similarities among small, medium, and large facilities concerning the organization of patient discs and in how they handle loose reports. I bedevil noticed that most facilities prefer that their loose records be permanently anchored in their charts, which makes sense to me because it prevents the loose reports from be misplaced and lost. However, the different sizes of facilities tend to organize patient files differently according to each particular deftnesss policies.The most popular methods of organization that I have seen include chronologically, form numbers, report type, and category. During my examine of the interview threads, I noticed a lot of similarities and a lot of differences in how patient files are handled. For example the medium and large facilities are by far more likely to use electronic files than idea ones, thus eliminating the threat of misplaced records. The most common differen ce that I saw was in whether or not the facilities use paper files.It seems that almost all of the medium and large facilities are exploitation electronic files and everything automatically gets filed with the patients main file immediately. However, in small facilities they are more than more likely to use paper files in which case everything is filed with the patients main record immediately in order to make it easy to locate and to prevent it from getting lost. In conclusion, whether the installation is small, medium, or large they all take special care in the organization of their files whether they are paper or electronic.
