HUMS Hospital

Description:
The system currently allows addendum notes to be added without clear distinction from the original documentation. This creates risks of confusion and weakens audit clarity. A flagging mechanism is required to ensure addendum notes are visibly marked and traceable.

Issues Identified:
1.Unmarked addendum entries – Addendum notes appear identical to original notes.
2.Audit trail ambiguity – Difficult to track which entries are addenda versus original documentation.
3.Clinical record confusion – Users may misinterpret addendum as part of the initial signed-off note.

Expected Behavior :
All addendum notes must be flagged with a clear label (e.g., “Addendum”).
Addendum entries should display timestamp, author, and linkage to the original note.
Flags must be visible in both patient record view and audit trail logs.
Addendum flagging should remain consistent across modules (IP, OPD, ER).
