You have noticed several times that patient records are misfiled. how do you handle this situation?

Uncommon: Misfiling of records is a function of human error and does occur on occasion. Generally the records will be found in time but not always. This is handled, after suitable apologies, by re-starting a new record. This is likely to occur less often as electronic records become more widespread although they have significant problems of their own.
