  • Abstract
    Good standard of clinical record keeping and medical case notes are essential in ensuring high quality care of patients as well as aid communication between diffe-rent team members. It also informs medico legal inves-tigations, clinical audit as well as research.1 In psy-chiatric practice, good history, detailed mental state examination and risk assessment as well as relevant physical examination forms the basis for accurate dia-gnosis, formulation as well as management decisions.
