Timeliness and completeness of entries in paper diary tools was compared to those entered in a hand-held electronic diary (PDA).
(General Practitioner, Case 355, 6, verbatim) Handover and debriefing were rare in general practice and information continuity has become contingent on the quality and completeness of entries to the patient record, a medium that is intrinsically fallible.
