Narrative charting is a free text description of the patient status and nursing care,not usually organized according to patient problems.Focus charting highlights the patient's concerns,problems,and strengths in a three-column format.Source-oriented record systems require members of each discipline to record their findings in a separately labeled section of the chart.A problem-oriented record system is organized around the patient's problems and each member of the healthcare team document in the area designated for that problem.This method makes it easier to view the patient's progress and integrate the interdisciplinary perspective.
