Correcting the Record
Captions available
The idea
Errors in the record are corrected, never erased.
In practice
Federal billing guidance expects the date and author of any correction to be identifiable, and the change plainly and permanently marked, so the original stays readable.
Where people slip
Never delete, hide or alter a record entry to cover a mistake; that can be treated as falsification.
