What Is Documentation Review?

Examine records or documents for completeness, consistency, accuracy, version, and compliance with the requirements for that record.

Why Does Documentation Review Matter?

Documentation Review matters because a record can look complete while still missing an approval, evidence, date, required field, or current version.

What Does It Look Like?

Someone applying documentation review may:

  • checks documents against a defined review list
  • spots contradictions between related records
  • confirms that required approvals or supporting evidence are present
  • distinguishes a formatting issue from a substantive documentation gap

How to Develop Documentation Review

You can develop it by:

  • create review criteria for one recurring document
  • review a sample without editing it and record every issue found
  • compare two related records and identify inconsistencies
