2. Integrated: This format combines all aspects of the medical record into one comprehensive document, such that all information is chronologically organized in a single section.

3. Problem-oriented: This format focuses on organizing medical records around specific medical problems or diagnoses. It typically includes a database, problem list, initial plan, and progress notes for each problem or diagnosis.
