The quality of the clinical records included in the clinical charts is assessed through a sample of the clinical charts existing at the Health Center Zaidin-Sur (Granada, Spain). The quality was ascertained via the number of visits annotated, the number of records considered as essential (life style, family and personal history), and the number of received or requested consultation. This information is compared to the data of the general files of the Health Center, to the information gathered by a direct interview (performed to assess the validity of the essential records), and to the results of a protocol studying the visit activities. The analysis of data shows that just a 40.4% of the visits are annotated on the clinical chart. A lower percentage of the essential records were annotated, 37.6%. The requested consultations are annotated in 43.8% and the received ones in 87.6%. We discuss on the need of periodic evaluation of the records to show their limitations and deficiencies. This is the first step to improve them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
