All rights reserved. 2

6 Why Medical Records Are Important Assist the physician in providing the best possible care to the patient Offer legal protection to those who provide care to the patient Provide statistical information that is helpful to researchers Vital for financial reimbursement Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 6

7 Ownership of the Medical Record The maker, who initiated and developed the record, owns the physical medical record. The maker can be a physician or a medical facility. Patients have a right of access to the information in the record. Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 7

8 Points to Remember Medical records must be kept confidential and in a secured, locked location. The record should never leave the medical facility in which it originated. Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 8

9 Creating an Efficient Medical Record System The system should: provide for easy retrieval be organized and orderly contain information that is completely legible contain accurate information show information that is easily understood and grammatically correct Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 9

10 Types of Records Paper-based medical records Computer-based medical records Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 10

11 Disadvantages of Paper-Based Medical Records Only one person can use the record at a time, unless multiple people are crowding around the same record. Items can be easily lost or misfiled or can slip out of the record if not securely fastened. The record itself can be misplaced or be in a different area of the facility when needed. Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 11

12 Advantages of Computer-Based Medical Records More than one person can use the record at a time. Information can be accessed in a variety of physical locations. Records can often be accessed from another city or state. Complete information is often available in emergency situations. Copyright 2011, 2007, 2004 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. 12
