Answer to Question 1

Outpatient: Most physician offices have a single chart for the patient. Notes for each visit, test results, and any other reports are added to the chart. Inpatient: Most hospitals start a new chart each time a patient is admitted. Information from previous stays in the hospital is linked to the patient ID, but the current chart contains only information related to the current stay.

Outpatient: The quantity of data in an outpatient chart is relatively low by comparison. Inpatient: The quantity of data in an inpatient chart is likely to be much larger. Vital signs are taken and nurses' notes are added numerous times per day; dietitians, respiratory therapists, and other providers add to the chart; there are typically many more orders for labs, medications, etc.

Outpatient: The central element in the chart is the physician's exam note.Inpatient: Physician exams tend to be brief; the main focus of the chart is the physician orders and nurse's notes indicating the patient's response.
