hospital & community team communications

Last reviewed 01/2018

Hospital and community team communications include:

  • referrals
  • team member, inpatient and outpatient care reports
  • laboratory, imaging etc investigations (ECG, CXR)

Such records are most useful in reverse chronological order:

  • the latest information should be most prominent
  • letters should be filed with the latest on top
  • computers should present the most recent plus the most important data first
