The health care providers at your hospital do a very thorough job of periodic open record review

to ensure the completeness of record documentation. A qualitative review of surgical records
would likely include checking for documentation regarding
A. the presence or absence of such items as preoperative and postoperative diagnosis, description
of findings, and specimens removed.
B. whether a postoperative infection occurred and how it was treated.
C. the quality of follow-up care.
D. whether the severity of illness and/or intensity of service warranted acute level care.

A "Whether a postoperative infection occurred and how it was treated" represents an
appropriate job for the infection control officer. "The quality of follow-up care" represents the
clinical care evaluation process, rather than the review of quality documentation. "Whether
the severity of illness and/or intensity of service warranted acute level care" is a function of
the utilization review program.
