Electronic Clinical Record Keeping Guidelines (G333)
All record keeping, using whatever medium should take account of the need to maintain communication between the multi-professional health care team providing care/treatment for the patient/client. All staff should ensure the correct record is opening by checking three patient identifiers: • The patients name; • Date of birth • And, NHS number/unique patient ID prior to opening the electronic record The following applies to electronic record keeping: The principle of confidentiality is equally important when electronic clinical records are being used, including those sent by email, and should comply with the Trust’s code of confidentiality, e-mail policy and information governance policy. Registered clinical staff are professionally responsible for making sure that whatever system they use it is fully secured and managed in such a way that confidentiality is maintained.
