Medical records tell the complete story of a patient’s healthcare journey. They play a crucial role in providing high-quality patient care. From clinical notes and electronic records, to consultation requests and discharge summaries, learn how to improve your medical records in practice.
Medical Record-Keeping is an interactive program (offered both in-person and online) that addresses the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) Medical Record-Keeping Policies. Using case-based exercises, peer assessments, and training on practice tools, this program provides participants with skills needed to keep good medical records for their patients and their practice.
This program is designed for physicians looking to improve their medical records in practice. It will be of benefit to those who wish to become familiar with documentation tools for clinical encounters and to comply with CPSO policies and legislation as they relate to record keeping.
