Distinguish between a source-oriented record and a problem-oriented record
A source-oriented record is the traditional way in which a record is organized in sections according to patient care departments and/or disciplines. Within each section the forms are arranged according to date. A problem-oriented record provides a systematic method of documentation to reflect logical thinking on the part of the person directing the care of the patient. The individual directing the care of the patient defines and follows each clinical problem individually and organizes the problems for solution.
