Charting is the primary way by which healthcare professionals formally communicate their evaluation and management of patients after they present for medical attention. Unlike other clinical skills, there can be little explicit training of medical students around the task of charting, and a general perception that individuals learn charting on the job during their internship or residency training. However, charting is attracting greater attention given the relationship between individual and team factors and the outcome of diagnostic error. This presentation shares authentic case examples of charting, and suggests ways in which educators can use interventions for improving documentation and better communicate their diagnostic reasoning.
