Team approach to charting: medical staff join in.
At British Columbia's Prince George Regional Hospital, collaboration between the hospital's chief of medical staff and its manager of health records has resulted in more meaningful, accurate, timely and complete patient records. The hospital departed from the traditional process of deficiency flagging to physician ownership and ultimate accountability for medical charting.
