In order to maintain
records that are up to date, complete, accurate and legible, you must have to
write records clearly so that others can understand the records. It is a best
practice to write records in capital letter where possible, if your handwriting
is not understandable. No jargon should be used in records. Your opinions,
thoughts and judgement must not be served on the records. Records have to be
accurate and based on fact. All entry of the records must be signed and dated
by the writer for lawful process and authenticity. Without signature and date, records are not
valid for any purposes. When updating records, you should keep the older records
available to prove where the updated record is originated from. If the records are not up to date, complete, accurate and legible, then it will not serve to its purpose such as communication or legal purposes.
