Documentation

 Technology in health care continues to advance, yet there is still a time and place for paper documentation. One of the most common paper documents is a patient intake form. For this week’s assignment, you will examine the functionality of this type of documentation, and offer improvements.

For this assignment, you will create a patient registration form. You may use an existing form as a guide, and make revisions as necessary when creating your document. 

• Your form should be one page in length, formatted in a clean, professional manner. 
• Key data that will be used in EMR reporting should be in boldface text. 
• On a separate page, briefly summarize why each of the key data points are important for reporting purposes. 
• A minimum of three references, in APA format, should be included on a separate page. Sources may include forms used to create your document.

Please review the rubric to ensure that your assignment meets criteria.

Submit:

• Patient Registration Form
• Document with the summary of the data points
