 PURPOSE:To ensure compliance with hospital medical records policies.

POLICY:

Residents must complete medical records in a timely manner.

PROCEDURES:

Failure to complete delinquent medical chartswill result in leave time, at the program's discretion, until the program office is notified of record completion.
