I have noticed that there are a few different differences and similarities between the small, medium, and large facilities when concerning the organization of patient records, charts and files as well as how they may handle loose reports. I seem to have noticed that most facilities including most small, medium and large facilities prefer that all of their loose records are to be permanently anchored within their patient charts so that they may be able to reduce the risk of those loose reports becoming misplaced and/or lost, which seems to make the most sense to me since this would be the best idea to prevent the loose reports from being misplaced and/or lost. However, the different sizes of facilities tend to organize patient files differently according to each particular facility’s policies. The most popular methods of organization that I have seen include chronologically, form numbers, report type, category and most recent. During my review of the interview threads, I have noticed a lot of similarities and a lot of differences in how patient files are organized between the many facilities which is leading me to believe that every facility has their own system. A system that may work for one facility does not work for another facility, especially when many facilities specialize in different medical areas. A small orthopedic facility may organize their patient’s files by last names where as a large hospital facility may organize their patient’s files by a numerical system they prefer and find to be the best fit.
