Plain-English summary
Good medical records are really important for taking care of horses. They help veterinarians provide better care and service to horse owners, and they also play a role in reducing risks for the practice and improving its overall success. Keeping detailed and accurate records can make a big difference in how well a horse is treated and how smoothly the practice runs.
Abstract
Quality medical records are the cornerstone of successful equine veterinary practice. The scope and integrity of the information contained in a practice's medical records influence the quality of patient care and client service and affect liability risk, practice productivity, and overall practice value.
