Description

Each patient has a record of all their treatment and care which must be accurate and up to date. Health records staff are responsible for organising, updating, and storing records. This can be either a physical (paper) record or stored electronically - or a mix of both. In addition, health records staff prepare for storage of any records that are no longer needed.

As part of the NHS goal of becoming paperless, the Trust is gradually introducing digital records for nursing and doctor's documentation, as well as electronic prescribing and medication administration.
