It highlights the importance of accurate and timely documentation, communication between providers, justifying medical necessity, meeting billing requirements, and supporting the level of service billed. <br /><br />The components of a high-quality note include the chief complaint, history of present illness (HPI), medications/allergies, past medical history, review of systems (ROS), physical exam findings, labs/imaging, assessment (including a differential diagnosis), and a plan. The document provides additional considerations such as patient consent and accommodations, antithrombotic management, and religion-based considerations. <br /><br />It emphasizes the need to capture key information in the HPI, such as onset, location, duration, character, aggravating factors, relieving factors, timing, and severity.
