چکیده
The structure of medical records becomes ever more critical with the advent of electronic records. The Health Informatics Unit (HIU) of the Royal College of Physicians has two work streams in this area. The Records Standards programme is developing generic standards for all entries into medical notes and standards for the content of admission, handover and discharge records.

Clinician endorsement of the work is achieved through extensive consultations. Generic medical record-keeping standards are now available.
