Medical Malpractice Doctor notes

[Toask]

can a doctor edit notes after submitting it in record, when he has time only later in day to complete it?
Esp if he has no way to save short note made during exam in the software package clinic uses?
Will date of note/ addendum suffice legally?

Where you are is actually important.

Why is this of concern to you?

How can you substantiate what you believe?

And, yes, in what state is this allegedly occurring?

IP address shows Tn. though that doesn't mean that is always the jurisdiction but could be. OP should come back & tell us jurisdiction (state) if a more complete answer is wanted.
