SUBCOURSE 920

MEDICAL RECORDS AND SICK CALL PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

As a medical specialist assigned to an Army medical treatment facility or to a

field unit, you want to do your best in providing care to your patients. One key to good

patient care is communication. Many times this communication takes place through the

use of forms, records, and reports. The physician and other health care providers rely

upon the accuracy of the forms that you prepare in determining the treatment that the

patient will receive. You rely upon forms completed by other personnel concerning

instructions for patient care. An understanding of medical forms, records, and

procedures is needed whether you are working on a nursing unit (ward) of a military

hospital, in a clinic, or in a field unit.
