Hcr/210 Week 6 Checkpoint

demean Organization HCR/210 January 15, 2012 There are a few diversitys and similarities among minuscule, medium, and epic facilities concerning the composition of patient records and in how they handle loose business relationships. I have spy that more or less facilities prefer that their loose records are permanently anchored in their charts, which makes genius to me because it prevents the loose reports from being misplaced and lost. However, the different sizes of facilities tend to organize patient files differently according to each particular facilitys policies.The most popular methods of organization that I have seen include chronologically, form numbers, report type, and category. During my review 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 make-up ones, thus eliminating the threat of misplaced rec ords. The most common difference 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 using electronic files and everything automatically gets filed with the patients main file immediately. However, in small facilities they are much 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 facility is small, medium, or large they all take special wangle in the organization of their files whether they are paper or electronic.
