do notes and correspondence go on the patient info. side of a medical chart or on the physician input side?

Question

are there legalities involved in where this information is placed?

Answer 1

Usually patient information and correspondence go on the left side of the chart. Then usually notes, labs, and x-rays go on the right side of the chart. I am not aware of any legalities about where information goes as long as the patient's information is kept together and confidential it should be fine.

Answer 2

Most patient charts are divided up with areas for correspondence, doctors notes, labs, x-rays etc... Legalities? Information should be placed in the correct sections.
