Memory seats and the patient record

The patient's medical record is made evident, an information package compiled during the course of the individual in a Health area institution. Considered a relevant instrument of communication between many professionals focused on patient care, in the medical record one can find test results, prescribed treatments, results obtained, among other things. It constitutes a valuable document since it subsidizes the medical staff and the institution confirming actions taken and emerging costs. As a result of the various possibilities of use, our objective is to characterize the patient’s medical record as one of the places of memory according to Nora’s idea. Through theoretical research it is possible to notice that its characteristics, functions and purposes for which it was created authorize its inclusion in the category of places of memory.
