Objectives
  • At the end of this presentation, the participants
    should be able to
  • Define source oriented medical record
  • Define problem oriented medical record
  • List items to be included in the medical record
  • Discuss reasons for keeping medical records
  • Explain the PSOAP acronym for keeping records

3
It is always easier to find your way if you have
a road map!
4
Which data are we recording in practice?
5
Why to keep records?
  • Helps in medical decisions
  • (is the size of a lymph node or nodule
    increasing with time?)
  • Helps to share responsibility with the patient
  • Legal obligation.
  • Protects the patient as well as doctor in front
    of the court

6
  • Has economic benefits
  • Useful to produce health statistics
  • Provides epidemiological data
  • Assists practice management
  • Useful in QI activities
  • Is a communication tool

7
Types
  • According to the method
  • Source oriented
  • Problem oriented

8
  • Source oriented medical record Data taken from
    the source are recorded as they are (Source
    patient, relative, laboratory etc.)
  • Easy and fast to record
  • Flexible
  • Omitting information is highly possible
  • Difficult to access the information

9
  • Problem oriented medical record
  • Structure is defined in advance.
  • The patient with problem is in the focus
  • It is systematic
  • Data is easily accessible
  • Not flexible. Recording information is difficult
    and time consuming

10
Which data to record?
  • Personal info age, sex, occupation, training,
    family...
  • Risk factors tobacco, alcohol, life styles...
  • Allergies and drug reactions
  • Problem list
  • Disease history diseases, operations. . .
  • The disease process main problem, history, exam,
    lab.
  • Management plan advice, education, medication. .
    .
  • Progress notes in the P S O A P format

11
PSOAP
  • Problem
  • Everything the patient reports and doctors
    findings which are regarded as problems
  • Subjective
  • History of the problem what the patient feels or
    thinks about the problem
  • Objective
  • Doctors findings related with the problem
  • Assessment
  • Evaluation of the problem the diff. diagnosis
  • Plan
  • Prescription, consultation, advice, control
    visit...

Rules in keeping medical records (NCQA)
  1. Each page in the record contains the patients
    name or ID number.
  2. Personal biographical data include the address,
    employer, home and work telephone numbers and
    marital status.
  3. All entries in the medical record contain the
    authors identification. Author identification
    may be a handwritten signature, unique electronic
    identifier or initials.
  4. All entries are dated.
  5. The record is legible to someone other than the
    writer.
  6. Significant illnesses and medical conditions are
    indicated on the problem list.
  7. Medication allergies and adverse reactions are
    prominently noted in the record. If the patient
    has no known allergies or history of adverse
    reactions, this is appropriately noted in the
    record.

National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
  1. Past medical history (for patients seen three
    or more times) is easily identified and includes
    serious accidents, operations and illnesses. For
    children and adolescents (18 years and younger),
    past medical history relates to prenatal care,
    birth, operations and childhood illnesses.
  2. For patients 12 years and older, there is
    appropriate notation concerning the use of
    cigarettes, alcohol and substances (for patients
    seen three or more times, query substance abuse
    history).
  3. The history and physical examination identifies
    appropriate subjective and objective information
    pertinent to the patients presenting complaints.
  4. Laboratory and other studies are ordered, as
    appropriate.
  5. Working diagnoses are consistent with findings.
  6. Treatment plans are consistent with diagnoses.
  7. Encounter forms or notes have a notation,
    regarding follow-up care, calls or visits, when
    indicated. The specific time of return is noted
    in weeks, months or as needed.

17
NCQA
  1. Unresolved problems from previous office visits
    are addressed in subsequent visits.
  2. There is review for under - or over utilization
    of consultants.
  3. If a consultation is requested, there a note from
    the consultant in the record.
  4. Consultation, laboratory and imaging reports
    filed in the chart are initialed by the
    practitioner who ordered them, to signify review.
    (Review and signature by professionals other than
    the ordering practitioner do not meet this
    requirement.) If the reports are presented
    electronically or by some other method, there is
    also representation of review by the ordering
    practitioner. Consultation and abnormal
    laboratory and imaging study results have an
    explicit notation in the record of follow-up
    plans.
  5. There is no evidence that the patient is placed
    at inappropriate risk by a diagnostic or
    therapeutic procedure.
  6. An immunization record (for children) is up to
    date or an appropriate history has been made in
    the medical record (for adults).
  7. There is evidence that preventive screening and
    services are offered in accordance with the
    organizations practice guidelines.

18
Legal Problems
  • Not recorded Not done !

19
In order to prevent legal problems
  • Record everything you do (including phone
    consultations)
  • Apply guidelines (e.g. NCQA)
  • Don't use erasable pencils
  • Dont use humiliating expressions

20
  • Do not use vague expressions such as the patient
    feels well
  • If you need to make changes just strike through
    and record also the date of change
  • If you stated that the patient is not cooperative
    give the reason
  • If patient rejects a procedure or test, mention
    it and give the reason why you requested it

21
Follow-up Charts
  • It is practical to use follow-up charts for
    chronic diseases
  • DM,
  • Hypertension
  • Obesity

Charts - Obesity

Medical Records are Our Road Maps
