What document reflects a patient's progress and treatment responses?

The progress report is designed specifically to document a patient's progress over time, including their response to treatments, changes in condition, and other relevant observations made during the course of care. This document serves as a valuable tool for healthcare providers to track the effectiveness of interventions and make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Discharge summaries, while important, are typically created at the end of a patient's stay and summarize the entire course of treatment rather than ongoing progress. Clinical notes are part of the medical record but may not specifically encapsulate all aspects of progress in a structured format over a period. Patient charts contain a broader range of information, such as medical history, test results, and notes from various providers, but might not focus solely on the ongoing progress of treatment. Thus, a progress report stands out as the document specifically intended to reflect changes and responses during treatment.
