Make an entry on SF 600 in the HREC and in the new OREC, stating the date the HREC was closed.

• A. The reason the HREC was closed.
• B. The date the HREC was closed.
• C. The name of the new OREC custodian.
• D. The member's next assignment.

Answer: (B)

The key idea here is documenting the exact moment the old health record is closed and the new record begins. Recording the date the HREC was closed creates a precise timeline that ties all medical entries to the correct record, ensuring continuity of care, proper archival, and clear accountability. When you enter this in the SF 600 and also note it in the new OREC, clinicians and administrators can see exactly when the old record stopped being active and when the new one started, avoiding gaps or confusion about which entries belong where. The other details—why the HREC was closed, who now custodians the record, or the member’s next assignment—aren’t the primary data point for this specific closure entry and are either administrative or belong in other sections or records.
