Corrections and/or additions should be made as outlined in
the Uniform Health Care Information Act (UHCIA).18 The
procedure described in the act is quite simple. The health
care provider should never expunge or obliterate any material.
Instead, the provider should add the correction or addition
to the medical record as a new chronological entry.
The provider should also mark the corrected or amended
record, in its margin, as corrected or amended and indicate
where the correction or amendment may be found
