Aims Due to the significant value held by medical records in terms of influencing patient care and medico-legal cases, this study aimed to investigate the quality of surgical notes and their improvement through periodic auditing during a six-year period at a major tertiary hospital. Methodology This study retrospectively evaluated surgical records of patients undergoing elective orthopedic surgeries at Jordan University Hospital from 2016 to 2021 using the Surgical Tool for Auditing Records (STAR) validated questionnaire. This questionnaire is composed of six distinct sections aimed to quantify the quality of medical records and demonstrate their associated deficiencies. Pre- and post-audit STAR scores were analyzed using the two independent sample t-test on Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23.0 (IBM Corp. Armonk, NY). Results A total of 454 records were randomly selected and evaluated using the STAR questionnaire. There was an overall significant trend of improvement in the quality of records in all evaluated years compared to the 2016 baseline. The most pronounced improvements were in the records of 2021 as compared to the 2016 baseline (97.4 ± 0.7 vs. 94.3 ± 1.6; p:<0.05), in which the Initial Clerking, Subsequent Entries, and Operative Record domains had the most significant magnitude of change. The Consent and Anesthesia domains plateaued over the study’s period in terms of overall quality. The most improved STAR domain was the Discharge Summary domain, in which four subsections (follow-up, diagnosis, complications, and medications on discharge) had significant STAR score increases (all; p:<0.05). Conclusion Our study implies that simple measures, including personnel education and training and periodic auditing, are effective measures in increasing the quality of surgical records. High-quality medical records need to be sustained and continuously improved, as they contribute to better health care, promote research, and contribute to economic gains through cost-effective practices.

“…17 Other studies found that medical residents tend to have the highest score of personal burnout rather than 2 other subscales, despite the burnout level. [17][18][19] These findings show us that medical residents have personal physical and psychological exhaustion that did not relate to their work.…”

Introduction. Resident doctors are susceptible to burnout syndrome, which are the combination of physical and psychological fatigue, that may affect their performance. Long-term pandemic of Covid-19 may also contribute to increase the severity of burnout among residents doctor, might be because the increasing of work time and effort to treat the patients during the time while maintaining prevention against the possible exposure that may harm themselves. This study was aimed to evaluate burnout prevalence among ENT (Ear-Nose-Throat) medical residents in Covid-19 pandemic, and its relation to certain factors of demographic and wellness. Methods. Thirty ENT medical residents of Medical Faculty of Sriwijaya University were enrolled as study population. Burnout was measured by Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and divided by three parameters (personal,work-related, patient-related). Results. Among 30 ENT resident doctors at Rumah Sakit Moh. Hoesin, the mean level of personal burnout was 53.056 (SD 17.125), work-related burnout was 47.975 (SD 17.663), and patient-related burnout was 34.861 (SD 20.746). Conclusion. Marriage, female gender, and inadequacy of PPE may contribute to the development of burnout. The burnout among resident doctors is a serious matter regarding their role as a frontline doctor during the pandemic era, because it may affect not only their performance at work, but toward their life as well.

Background: Assessing and improving quality of care should be of paramount importance to health care systems and providers. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of surgical records at the Jordan University Hospital.Methods: We used the previously validated Surgical Tool for Auditing Records (STAR) to retrospectively evaluate the quality of surgical records of patients who underwent surgery in the general surgery department from 2016 to 2021. Total STAR and section-specific STAR scores were compared using the two independent sample Student's t test on SPSS Statistics, version 23 (IBM Corp, Armonk, NY).Results: A total of 488 records were selected and evaluated using the STAR. The total STAR scores significantly improved steadily throughout the years compared to the baseline in 2016, reaching the highest in 2021. All domains had improved compared to the baseline except for anesthesia records that did not change from an already high baseline. The highest improvements between STAR domains were observed in Initial Clerking and Consent domains.Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that significant improvements in the quality of surgical records can be achieved by simply using an electronic record entry system, personnel education, and systematic auditing.
