BETTER RECORDS = BETTER SCORES = BETTER PATIENT CARE
Consider your medical records with the findings of the 2022 PRMR report
Medical records are central to safe quality veterinary medicine and provide the basis for continuity of care . To support quality records , the Peer Review of Medical Records ( PRMR ) assists veterinarians in meeting the standards for medical record keeping .
Through PRMR , trained Peer Reviewers assess medical records of randomly selected practices and for those who wish to improve their record-keeping by volunteering for a peer review .
Practices participating in PRMR gain insights into their record-keeping practices . The PRMR helps to identify areas for improvement and also confirms areas of strength .
The 2022 aggregate report is an informative read to assist in your record-keeping . The report shares data from the first full year of the new PRMR process and highlights opportunities for all veterinarians to enhance their record-keeping practices .
