Missing records pose safety risk

A poll by the Health Service Journal has revealed thousands of appointments are taking place without patient records. The report showed that around 54,000 outpatient appointments took place with no records across 49 hospital Trusts.

The survey found that six Trusts had 5% or more notes missing, while the average was 2.6% for missing outpatient records. The findings raise serious concerns over patient safety.
