Evidence refers to the objective facts and data that support the arguments, while proofs are those documents that can be presented before a court or legal process.
The types of medical documentation for legal claims are:
Accurate recording of medical history
Having a record of the patient’s previous illnesses, allergies, treatments for chronic illnesses, prescribed medications, imaging tests and any other information that serves as a basis for having a record is essential to understand the context of the medical care provided and the needs. of the patient.
Having a record of the treatments and prescriptions administered is essential to evaluate whether the diagnosis and medical decisions were appropriate for the patient’s health status.
