The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations is a group that comes up with standards for administrating healthcare orginizations. A lot of the orginizations I work with are considering dropping this accredition because they are a bunce of lobs. They are an organization that takes money to bully your health care administrators, and workers. The health department does a good enough job that no one needs this group.

The information lost was a switch.
On = Yes, the patient recieved and signed off on their bill of rights.

Off = they have not.

This is not clinical data. We do the same thing with HIPAA acknowledgements. If the patient hasn't signed one, or for some reason the system says they haven't, THEY SIGN A NEW ONE. Phew... glad we caught that hole.

Gotta dig deeper thn this.

BTW... a water main break in a local hospital records vault almost destroyed 35 years of medical records. Do you have any idea how much it costs to restore paper from this kind of disaster? With digital data, the cost of the backup procedure is all it takes.

I have news, your clinical record is ALWAYS kept on paper anyway. A more efficient orginization uses digital records in order to see more patients in a day. They make the doctors job easier. Isn't that for the greater good?
