    Section 2. WARD MORNING REPORT (WD AGO FORM 8-107)
    10.	DEFINITION AND PURPOSE
    The Ward Morning Report (WD AGO Form 8-107) (formerly WD MD Form 72), is a consolidated report of all admissions and dispositions on a particular ward for a 24-hour period. Any event which effects a change in the ward census will be recorded, with the exception of enlisted patients absent on pass of less than 72 hours duration; and officers absent for periods of less than 24 hours, provided such absence is not charged against an officer’s accrued leave. This report is the basis for compiling the Consolidated Ward Morning Report (sec. 14, ch. III).
    11.	RESPONSIBILITY AND PERIOD COVERED
    The nurse in charge of each ward of the hospital at 2400 daily is responsible for the completion and dispatching of the report for the preceding 24-hour period, and for initiating a report form for the succeeding like period. During the period covered by the report, each nurse in charge of the ward will be responsible for the entries made during her time on duty; however, the accuracy of the completed report will be the responsibility of the nurse signing it.
    12.	DISTRIBUTION
    The report will be prepared in one copy only, and immediately upon completion will be dis
    patched by special messenger to the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office.
    13.	CONTENTS
    The report is designed to give a statistical picture of the census status of the ward for the period, showing all admissions, dispositions, transfers to and from other wards, and patients absent with and without authority.
    14.	SOURCE OF DATA
    The information entered on the Ward Morning Report is obtained from the following sources:
    a.	The 5" x 3" locator card received from the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office with each patient admitted to the ward (sec. 2, ch. II).
    b.	Interward Transfer Slip (WD AGO Form 8-169).
    c.	Further information for the report is obtained under the following circumstances:
    (1)	The departure or return of any patient, for any reason, will be noted on the report.
    (2)	Knowledge of the failure of any militarized personnel to return within 24 hours of the expiration of his pass, furlough, or leave will be noted on the report.
    15.	PREPARATION
    The Ward Morning Report will be accomplished throughout the 24-hour period as described in the following illustrations.

    Section 3. DIAGNOSIS SLIP (WD AGO FORM 8-176)
    16. DEFINITION AND PURPOSE
    a. The Diagnosis Slip (WD AGO Form 8-176) is a record of each patient’s clinical status during his period of hospitalization in a particular installation.
    b. The purpose of the record is to keep the Registrar and statistical clerk constantly informed of a patient’s medical status and any change therein, and it becomes, therefore, an important source of information in maintaining the statistical locator cards (sec. 2, ch. III).

    CHAPTER IV
    17.	USE OF THE DIAGNOSIS SLIP
    a. The Diagnosis Slip may be accomplished as an “initial”, “corrected”, or “additional” record, as defined below, depending upon current circumstances. The latter two forms are supple mental to the initial record. When a Diagnosis Slip is prepared, it will be checked in the appropriate box in space 14 to indicate whether it is an initial, corrected, or additional report. The three types are defined as follows:
    (1)	An initial report is prepared for each patient on admission to the hospital. It is initiated by the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office and completed by the ward officer.
    (2)	A corrected report is accomplished when data submitted on the initial report are determined to have been in error, as in a change of diagnosis. It will indicate that the original data reported are no longer correct, and the records will be changed.
    (3)	An additional report will be submitted when supplemental information, such as an additional diagnosis, becomes available; or when a cured condition is reported. In such cases, it will be assumed that all previously reported data are still correct and are to remain on the records.
    18.	RESPONSIBILITY
    Although initiated by the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office, the prime responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of the Diagnosis Slip lies with the ward officer actually treating the patient concerned. Furthermore, he is responsible for accomplishing and forwarding corrected and additional forms of the record as described in paragraph 20.
    19.	PERIOD COVERED
    The initial Diagnosis Slip, with any supplemental corrected or additional forms, will cover the entire period of a patient’s hospitalization at an individual medical installation.
    20.	NUMBER OF COPIES AND DISTRIBUTION
    a.	The Diagnosis Slip, whether initial, corrected, or additional slips, will be prepared in one original and one carbon copy.
    b.	Distribution of the three types ot slips is as follows:
    (1)	Initial slip. Initiated by the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office
    1 OCT 45
    and both copies forwarded to the ward with the patient. Upon completion by the ward officer, the original will be forwarded to the Registrar. The duplicate copy will become a part of the patient’s clinical records during his period of hospitalization, and will be destroyed at time of disposition of the patient.
    (2)	Corrected and additional slips. Initiated by the ward officer treating the patient, or by the representative of the Reconditioning Service actually giving exercises to the patient. The original is forwarded to the Registrar immediately on completion; the duplicate is retained with the patient’s clinical records. Final disposition of corrected and additional slips is the same as described in (1) above for initial slips.
    21.	PREPARATION
    a. The initial Diagnosis Slip will be initiated by the Admission and Disposition Branch of the Registrar’s Office at the time of the patient’s admission to the hospital. The admitting clerk will enter on the form the information required by spaces 1 to 10, inclusive. In those hospitals using the mechanical method of reproducing admission records, the forms will be processed by mimeograph or similar device. The forms will be forwarded to the ward with the patient.

    c. After examination of the patient, the ward officer will complete the form by entering the
    professional data as it may apply to the patient in the remaining spaces, and forward the original copy to the Registrar. Completion of an initial report will be accomplished within 48 hours after admission of the patient. The information entered thereon should be as exact as possible, but submission of the slips will not be delayed pending results of laboratory or other examinations, and will be forwarded even though the information is tentative.
    d. Corrected and additional slips, when necessary as defined in paragraph 17a (2) and (3), will be initiated by the ward officer, or by the representative of the Reconditioning Service actually giving exercises to the patient concerned. On such slips, spaces 1 and 2 only will be completed in addition to the corrected or added professional information.
