Military Time Biography
The 24-hour clock is a convention of time keeping in which the day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hours, indicated by the hours passed since midnight, from 0 to 23. This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today,[1] and is the international standard (ISO 8601) notation for time of day.[2] In the practice of medicine, the 24-hour clock is generally used in documentation of care as it prevents any ambiguity as to when events occurred in a patient's medical history.[3] It is popularly referred to as military time or astronomical time in the United States, Canada,[4] and a handful of other countries[1] where the 12-hour clock is still dominant.
