Purposes of Recording and Reporting
Definition of record

Records and reports are crucial aid to those who are responsible for providing best services to individuals, families, and community. Good reports are time-savers as they prevent duplication of work, reduce errors, and show the efficiency of the staff.

A written report should show an awareness of time and thinking, and should focus on the past, present and future state of the patient or family or the event. Also the reports should include description and conclusion of action that influence further planning and decision-making.
