WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES

BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 7th OCTOBER 2024

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 14th OCTOBER 2024

Question

"Will the Minister advise whether he is aware of any concerns regarding the accuracy of patients' medical records, and if he is, what actions are being taken to address this matter?"

Answer

There are no concerns within HCS that patient's records are being falsified. The use of the Maxims digital EPR ensures that any changes or adaptions of an entry are visible, and time stamped. Incorrect entries are visibly shown as having been corrected and a reason for any change must be provided by the entrant. Additions to a record at any time are shown in the same manner.
