What methods do you use to maintain detailed medical records in compliance with legal and institutional requirements?

To maintain detailed medical records in compliance with legal and institutional requirements, I utilize a combination of electronic medical record (EMR) systems and paper documentation. For each patient encounter, I accurately document their medical history, physical examination findings, diagnosis, treatment plan, and any follow-up recommendations. I ensure that all entries are timely, legible, and signed or authenticated as required. Additionally, I strictly adhere to confidentiality and privacy regulations when handling sensitive patient information. I review and update medical records regularly to reflect any changes in the patient's condition or treatment. Finally, I stay informed about the latest legal and institutional requirements related to medical record-keeping to ensure ongoing compliance.
