When patients documentation purges to clinical history - that is the only way we are able to view and keep patient records. When you look at the progress notes each page does not have the date of the documentation. So you have to remember when looking at notes what date you are looking at. This is hard when reviewing to follow what day the things documented were actually performed on.
We see the date but it only shows on top of the form So when they are reviewing page 4 for example they have to scroll to page 1 just to make sure that is the right date. Imagine if there is 300 pages total and you would need to scroll up and down to figure out the date instead of it being on every page. This is a clinical review of importance request. We do so much audits that the date should reflect on the page you are looking at.
The date that shows is the date it was purged 3 months after the document was made. The date that it should show up as is the date the document was made.
