The HIPAA Privacy Rule strongly supports a patient's right to inspect and obtain a copy of the medical record. However, there are exceptions to this legal right that are relevant to mental health care.
Typically, patient charts include vitals, medications, treatment plans, allergies, immunizations, test results, patient demographics, diagnoses, progress notes and reports. All information in patient charts comes from nurses, lab technicians, physicians and other practitioners involved in the patient's care.
Record of medical history: Medical charts provide a complete and accurate record of a patient's medical history, including past medical conditions, medications, allergies, and treatments. This information is critical for healthcare providers to diagnose and treat a patient effectively.
Even though doctors, nurse practitioners, and other autonomous medical professionals write the majority of patient notes, nurses have a crucial role in charting. Anytime a nurse checks a patient's vitals, gives a medication, or provides other patient care, they document their interaction in the patient's chart.
Charting in nursing provides a documented medical record of services provided during a patient's care, including procedures performed, medications administered, diagnostic test results and interactions between the patient and healthcare professionals.
Charting should always be done soon after procedures, tests, or treatments takes place — not the other way around. One reason for this is that an interruption or change could occur, which would make it too easy to forget to go back and change what's been written.
