Discussion

Information that potentially impacts a diagnosis and subsequent treatment, plus the Patient's responses, should be entered into the Complete Healthcare Record (CHR).

The relationship between a Patient's Practitioner(s) and the Patient's Healthcare Caregiver(s) is often overlooked and avoided by the Practitioner(s). Although such relationships impose additional burdens the Healthcare Caregiver is a source of Healthcare-related information that may at times be very important and perhaps crucial.

The Healthcare Caregiver should be provided the opportunity to generate and update EHRs related to the Patient's Healthcare they have contact with or knowledge of. As a potential source of Healthcare-related information, irregardless of potential redundancies, the Complete Healthcare Record should contain their information.

A Patient's Practitioner(s) should be charged with the responsibility of reviewing and responding to the information provided in the CHR.
