What will be an ideal response?
Pros: Will allow employees to make sure all required documents are included; allows staff to know what is located in the medical record and where it should be; creates a reminder to be cautious with every patient.
Cons: Can be tedious to use with every patient; may cause an error if the checklist does not include the list of all possible documents; staff might not use it if it is time consuming and incomplete.
