Explanation:
Not sure why this is posted under mathematics but here is the answer:
According to the American Health Information Management Association(AHIMA), the proper method to correct a medical record is as follows:
- Draw line through entry (thin pen line). Make sure that the inaccurate information is still legible.
- Initial and date the entry.
- State the reason for the error (i.e. in the margin or above the note if room).
- Document the correct information. If the error is in a narrative note, it may be necessary to enter the correct information on the next available line/space documenting the current date and time and referring back to the incorrect entry.
The closest option to the above procedure is
A. Draw a single line through the entry and write "error," including the date, time, and initials of the person correcting.
This includes both date-time stamp and initials of person correcting for follow-up if necessary
