As you pass by, you notice that she is frowning at a patient's medical record. You ask if you can help, and she tells you that the patient has moved across town to take a new job, so all of his address, phone number, employment, and health insurance have changed. Benise is trying to figure out how to make all of those changes to the record. "It just won't fit!" she exclaims. What advice might you offer to Benise?
