A medical record documents a Member’s medical treatment, past and current health status, and treatment plans for future health care and is an integral component in the delivery of quality health care. The standards are as follows: Medical Record Content A separate problem list in each medical record documents significant illnesses and medical conditions. A current medication list. Medication allergies and adverse reactions are prominently displayed in the record. If the patient has no known allergies or history of adverse reactions, this is appropriately noted in the record. Past medical history (for patients seen three or more times) is easily identified and includes serious accidents, operations, and illnesses. For children and adolescents (18 years and younger), past medical history relates to prenatal care, birth, operations, and childhood illnesses. For patients 12 years and over, there are appropriate notations concerning use of cigarettes, alcohol, and substance abuse (for patients seen three or more times). The history and physical documents appropriate subjective and objective information for presenting complaints. Working diagnoses are consistent with findings. Treatment plans are consistent with diagnoses. Clinical evaluation and findings are documented for each visit. Unresolved problems from previous office visits are addressed in subsequent visits. Review for appropriate utilization of consultants. There is no evidence that the patient is placed at inappropriate risk by a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. An immunization record for children is up to date or an appropriate history is made in the medical record for adults. An immunization record for children is up to date or an appropriate history is made in the medical record for adults.

Medical Record Organization Each page in the record contains the patient’s name or ID number. Personal/biographical data includes address, employer, home and work telephone numbers, and marital status. All entries in the medical record contain the author’s identification. Author identification may be a handwritten signature, a unique electronic identifier, or initials. All entries are dated. The record is legible to someone other than the writer. Information Filed in Medical Records Laboratory and other studies are ordered, as appropriate. Encounter forms or notes have a notation, when indicated, regarding follow-up care, calls, or visits. The specific time of return is noted in weeks, months, or PRN (as needed). If a consultation is requested, there is a note from the consultant in the record. Specialty physician, other consultation, lab, and imaging reports filed in the chart are initialed by the practitioner who ordered them to signify review. Review and signature by professionals other than the ordering practitioner do not meet this requirement. If the reports are presented electronically, or by some other method, there is also representation of review by the ordering practitioner. Consultation and abnormal lab and imaging study results have an explicit notation in the record of follow-up plans. The existence of an advance directive is prominently documented in each adult (>18) Member’s medical record. Information as to whether the advanced directive has been executed is also noted. Records of hospital discharge summaries, emergency department visits, home health nursing reports, and physical therapy reports are maintained in the Member’s record. Ease of Retrieving Medical Records Medical records are organized and stored in a manner that allows easy retrieval and are to be made available to AmeriHealth as defined in the Professional Provider Agreement. Confidentiality of Information Medical records are stored in a secure manner that allows access to authorized personnel only.
