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 substances consumed by the Patient to alleviate Healthcare-related issues can be:

• prescribed as part of a treatment while under the care of a Practitioner
• uncontrolled substances that may have non-trivial impacts upon Patients
• Herbal Remedies
• Family or Cultural Remedies
• those with Known or Unknown impacts, e.g., vitamins with short-term benefits only.

Due to the width and depth of information related to this topic, detailed information added to the CHR is required.

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