Patient Records Management

Patient records are important and need to be maintained in good order often over long periods of time. Records also must be quickly made available so that correct treatment can be provided.

In addition patient records pass through many different locations and people including record stores, wards, researchers and consultants increasing the chances of information being lost, damaged or misplaced.

The NHS also has a number of legal obligations and best practice guidelines that need to be followed to comply with the required standard of patient records management.

DCS records management software FileStore provides solutions which help resolve the problems involved in patient records management plus support organisations in meeting their legal and professional obligations.

FileStore patient records management allows you to:

• Capture patient records into electronic format
• Store records centrally and securely in one location
• Be able to access records instantly from multiple locations
• Prevent misfiling, damaging and loss of records
• Improve compliance
• Improve record security
• Reduce administration costs

Our patient record solutions are designed to be low cost, low risk and to integrate quickly with existing systems and processes, this is why many Trusts have already chosen to work with us.

In addition DCS understand that budgets can be limited and records numerous so in such cases we recommend a phased approach that allows Trusts to prioritise the process.
