Clinicians Guides to Record Standards (October 2008)
For the first time, standards for patient records have been developed by the Royal College of Physicians in partnership with NHS Connecting for Health (NHS CFH), and agreed by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, representing the whole medical profession. The new standards will improve patient safety by standardising the information held on patients throughout their stay in hospital, reducing the likelihood of mistakes and missing information at admission, handover and discharge.
