Minutes for meetings has been very important and useful to me in the medical device industry. For example, I had to take minutes for a quarterly quality meeting that we had. In the meeting we discussed some important points that our site needed to focus on and improve. We also discussed some steps we should take and who to contact for help. My manager went to me at the end of the meeting and mentioned she can’t recall all the points that were mentioned. We went through the minutes and were able to recall everything. That is why documentation is important.
