A system of daily patient chart review of 11 categories of physician documentation and patient care was implemented over a 36-month period at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. A total of 108,317 charts of emergency patients were reviewed. Feedback on errors in all categories were given to the physicians responsible, and necessary corrective actions were taken as soon as possible. All new resident physicians rotated in two-month blocks and received orientation to patient care and chart documentation expectations prior to starting the service. All physicians' charts underwent the same thorough chart review. Not only did the percentage of errors decrease from the first months to the second months of the residents' rotations, but the yearly percentage of total errors decreased as the study progressed, from 5.47% to 3.57%.
