title: The importance of good record-keeping.
abstract: When large numbers of health care staff from different professional groups are involved in the care of individual clients, the need for simple, understandable, uniform casenotes becomes paramount. This article describes how a survey of the different casenotes used by various CPN teams led to the devising of a new system. The aim was to encourage good practice and develop a standardised record-keeping system.
