Answers:
We don't have to fill out a form in our clinic!. We just add an addendum to the original written entry!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

In health care, it is both unethical and in some cases illegal to change the original health record!. Many times a correction will be made, but the original record will remain intact!. This is done mainly to avoid possible legal issues if that medical record is ever summoned into court as evidence!. The person making the correction will initial the correction and provide details as to the location of the new information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
