The Electronic Health Record
Captions available
The idea
The electronic health record holds a patient's health information, and everything entered in it is part of a legal document.
In practice
Medical assistants enter and retrieve data such as demographics, vital signs, medications, results and appointments.
Where people slip
An entry in the wrong patient's record is a serious error; confirm identity before you type.
