How well you write directly influences your perceived professional competency and credibility. Communicating Effectively in Medical Records assists doctors, physician′s assistants, and nurse practitioners with the task of communicating highly scientific and technical information to a variety of audiences in a clear, concise, and effective manner.

"The book is excellent I would like to recommend that it be read by every physician in the state of Oklahoma. I have often told our physicians that ′Good medical records are a doctor′s first line of defense in professional liability situations.′ The book can help any physician improve their record keeping ability."
