What is the purpose of patient healthcare records?

Patient records provide the documentation patients and payers use to verify billed services. Research and quality management. Patient records are used in many facilities for research purposes and for monitoring the quality of care provided.

Which of the following best describes the most important function of health record?

Which of the following best describes the most important function of the health record? Storing patient care documentation.

How does the health record promote quality patient care?

When health care providers have access to complete and accurate information, patients receive better medical care. Electronic health records (EHRs) can improve the ability to diagnose diseases and reduce—even prevent—medical errors, improving patient outcomes.

Who is considered an institutional user of the health record?

Institutional users are organizations that access health records in order to accomplish their mission. Healthcare delivery organizations provide care, submit claims, and evaluate the quality of care provided.
