| Abstract: | Effective medical notes ensure comprehensive documentation in healthcare. This study evaluates medical note quality in the vascular unit at Mater Dei Hospital using British Medical Journal (BMJ) guidelines. Two cycles examine 17 parameters pre- and post-intervention, revealing notable, significant enhancements in patient identifiers, clinical summaries, examination, and planning. Future prospects involve digitizing notetaking, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) for data organization, and simplifying entry methods. Implementation of electronic solutions is encouraged for improved accuracy, efficiency, and continuity of patient care. |
