Question 40

Which filing system would provide the most convenient method for the record retrieval of 200 patients consecutively admitted to the hospital?

    Correct Answer: C

    Straight numeric filing involves filing records in exact ascending order according to their medical record numbers. This method is especially convenient for retrieving records of a group of patients admitted consecutively, as their records will already be in order by their admission sequence. This makes it efficient to locate a specific record quickly within a range of consecutively admitted patients.
