Notas del editor
- Topic – titleLighthearted view of our storyPast and present dramas, a myriad of challenges, die-hard characters.Focus on clinical records, as what we know, and overview of all issues over the last 12 years.
- Not an inspirational/ motivational presentationAn honest account of our story, which may have some parallels to your organisation?
- Otago – and had done for a number of yearsSouthern Alliance – created a new set of challenges
- CR supervisorCRCRegional/District managerCorporate Systems Manager/PRA Board chairSouthland – Frances etc.MH records – Otago/SouthlandClinical Records teamsSatellite record areas
- Yes, the merger occurred, but essentially this occurred in name only – a new logo, on
- Timeline of storage issuesCrown – Wakari – Crown2008 Southland to Crown2010 Wakari to CrownDumping ground at WakariLow risk , low priority, lack of decisions and interest – lip serviceNot included in decisions, not invited to consult, no place in MSP – no structure/inclusion of records storage – everyone just sees Electronic Records as the answer, without understanding the need to Electronic records – interfaces to PAS, equipment, efficiency, accessibility and reliability of systemsHybrid systems – different processes in different departments – trying to align or streamline these is impossible as the clinicians do wildly different thingsSouthland and Otago still have completely separate clinical systemsFinancial constraints re external storageCost centre pays for external storage, no global budget for recordkeeping/storage.Corrective Actions – audits, accreditations, certification – sort out storageNo global Recordkeeping framework
- Detail recommendations – satellite, storage Dunedin, crown, electronic vs paper, convergence of patient management systems, audit corrective actions
- Records tell our story, past present futureOur future is today, tomorrow, but it goes on and on like a soap operaRecords should be treated as an asset
- Not included in many decisions, until something goes wrong, and then “Oh, I didn’t realise”… Not even entering people’s minds
- Sound of muffled conversation
- No interest or solutions for what exists, only going forward
- Was expecting an analysis of hard-hitting directives so could be used as ammunition for improvement and the need to changeHigh expectations, was expecting a serious in-depth look, pinning hopes on it
- Legislation, policies, procedures, guides, …
- Support from individuals, but unfortunately individuals can’t change the culture of the organisationAny real changes require dollars, and buy in from staff
- NHIT BoardSI AllianceShared care record – 5 DHBs & PHOs, GPs & other healthcare providers5 years awayReally sexy & interesting, but lack of awareness that “old” hard-copy records still need to be managed.
- Over the last 12 years, nothing changedNo framework around concept, who manages it?
- Good service
- Numbers at CrownNumbers everywhere else – Dunedin, Lakes, Invercargill, Wakari, Linear meterageNumbers of records turned over each month
- Active patient records – around the district, living documents,
