AB The  modern  era  of  medical  record  keeping  began  in  the  late  19th  and  early  20th  century.  Medical  records  of  that  time  period  were  largely  unsystematic,  as  was  medical  education,  which  was  unregulated  and  taught  in  privately  owned  medical  schools.  Written  records  were  treated  as  no  more  than  “notes  to  self,”  of  use  and  interest  to  individual  practitioners  only.  In  1911,  Richard  Cabot,  a  Boston  physician,  published  a  book  entitled,  Differential  Diagnosis:  Presented  Through  an  Analysis  of  383  Cases,1  in  which  he  demonstrated  how  individual  records  could  be  used  to  classify  groups  of  patients  according  to  the  symptoms  and  signs  they  presented  with,  an  early  form  of  population  medicine.
