I have an important medical billing/ coding question?

Question

I need to know some reasons why medical records are important in the health care delivery system..??

Answer 1

A patients' medical record is used for many things:

Helping the physician remember what happened at the last visit.

What tests were ordered/what were the test results.

Medical records are also used to abstract data for billing.

They also back-up the physician in case of audit or malpractice.

Medical records are another way one physician can communicate with another physician.

The list goes on and on....................
