Abstract/OtherAbstract:
During a recent workshop sponsored by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, Dr. Paul Caulford identified the most common problems with medical records: they are much too brief, don't tell the patient's story and are missing important details. He warned that physicians must pay more attention to their records because "the way things are moving, the scrutiny of records in the past in nothing in comparison to what it will be like in the future."
