 Medical records

With Islamic hospitals advancing medicine so quickly, they needed a way to catalogue all of their findings which in the end lead to the first medical records.This made hospitals more efficient as they were able to check records of other people with patients that had similar symptoms and hopefully treat them the same way they were able to with the other patients.Not only did physicians keep medical records but they kept notes on patients and provided them for peer review as a way to not be held responsible for malpractice.
