Appreciate you sharing that experience, I would say every single chart at the VA contains at least one error.... usually more. It is a function that most charts are "free-written" and very very subject to human error - deliberate and unintentional. It is very difficult to "carry forward" information error-free. I make them too. Sorry that happened to you and the resident.
There is a PTSD screen for most visits because the VA very much wants to identify vets who may be interested in help and the stigma is somewhat lessening and a solid 20+ vets I know finally - just - went to start seeing groups etc. It is usually done by nursing at the onset of the visit. Same with depression. Those results are not explicitly recorded by your physician unless they want to.
Not all VAs are the same, each VISN has it's own protocols, enhancements/ tools in the base software. Our usual templates and "reminders" which have click-select options just don't have a firearms question.
