Continuity is a documentation problem
When a patient is seen by a different clinician at the next visit, the only thing that carries forward is what was recorded. Programs lose continuity not because care changed, but because the record could not be compared.
Structure beats free text
Structured fields can be trended; narrative notes cannot. Where a value is measurable, capture it as a field with units, and reserve narrative text for context that structure cannot hold.
Standardize capture conditions
For any visual documentation, consistency matters more than resolution: same distance, same angle, same lighting, same reference scale. Inconsistent capture makes visual comparison unreliable regardless of image quality.
Ownership, privacy and access
Name who is responsible for completing the record before the patient leaves, and define who may access it. Health information requires access control, audit logging and retention rules consistent with local regulation.
