Medical Records System
An effective medical records system is essential to the establishment of a quality community hospital. The medical records system is important because:
-
It ensures Continuity of Patient Care with High Quality Levels.
-
It is the tool that health care providers can communicate and coordinate between each other.
-
Quality reviews cannot take place in the absence of medical records.

It enables the hospital to provide information that may be sought by another health care facility or by legal authority.
-
It provides a vehicle for conducting medical research and for medical education.
