About this publication
The provision of healthcare services is based on information obtained from various sources at all levels of care, which underpins decision-making in healthcare. Keeping complete and accurate records is part of clinical care provision although often not seen as such. Well-kept records become an advocacy tool speaking for both the patient and the practitioner as they tell a story about the patient’s health history and the care he or she has received.
