Medical records standards in selected countries and Iran: a comparative study

Abazar Hajavi et al. New J (Inst Health Rec Inf Manag). 2005 Feb.

Abstract

Studies conducted in Iran showed that the absence of specific and applied standards relating to medical records, and the absence of a custodian organization, resulted in an incompatibility of medical records with standards and a deviation in the path of the activities of medical records departments from their main goals. Today's medical record professionals identified the development of a mechanism for establishing medical records standards as a reform priority. So, conducting a comparative study of related medical records standards in developed countries with Iran, is important in order to facilitate a nationwide standardization movement in Iran's medical record departments.
