title: Medicaid records and the psychiatric private sector.
abstract: The authors report a study or records maintained by private practitioners for their Medicaid patients. The quality of record keeping in general fell far short of Medicaid requirements. Board-certified or hospital-affiliated psychiatrists kept better charts than those who did not have these credentials. Educational background did not correlate with extent of record keeping.
