By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • list the artefacts that also constitute a clinical record
  • describe how these might be stored safely
  • discuss the relative merits and drawbacks of computerised systems
  • identify how to minimise any potential drawbacks of keeping computer records
  • evaluate what needs to be kept, for how long and what constitutes safe storage

Together with the detailed patient records described in the e-Den session Patient assessment/The patient’s profile/What should be recorded in clinical notes, these also constitute clinical records.
