Regulations from agencies such as The Joint Commission and the Centers for Medicare and Me-dicaid Services require health care institutions to monitor and evaluate the quality and appro-priateness of patient care. Typically, such monitoring and evaluations occur through the auditing of information health care providers document in patient records.
