1.11 Proofreading

When proofreading documentation, as many office administration-health services students are asked to do during employment, here is a list of items to carefully check

This will be the list of subjects once we have determined the right order.

  • Determine if the documentation is formal or informal, and then create it appropriately, for example: formal or informal minutes
  • Addresses – include the postal code
  • Content-specific vocabulary
  • Envelopes with enclosures
  • Emails with attachments
  • Dates – correct day of week, correct day number, order of dd/mm/yyyy is consistent
  • Names are to be double checked, and spelled correctly – your name, the patient’s name, the organization’s name
  • Times – a.m. | p.m., 24-hour clock
