Organizing Medical Records

Organizing a medical records chart in a manner in which you and your expert(s) can easily review the records and also quickly find key documents can be a difficult task.  We find it very helpful to organize a medical chart using medical record tab dividers.  You can purchase these tab dividers or you can create your own using blank tabs.  The categories we use are as follows:  Admission Records; History & Physical; Discharge Summary; Outpatient Records; Physician Orders; Lab Reports; Progress Notes; X-ray Reports; Rehab & Therapy; Medications; Nurses Notes; Records of Operation; Anesthetic Records; Consultations; and Miscellaneous.  It is also helpful to make sure you organize the records behind each tab in chronological order.
