Task
Conduct research and prepare a brief report outlining the patient information system used in a local health care facility. You may choose to prepare the report on the place where you attend or even where a family member or friend is employed. Examples of Patient Forms and Information are located in your Connect Learning Resources (Link available in Exercise Files, NewPatientForm and Market Street Medical Practice Privacy Policy).
Prepare a report of at least 300 words (short paragraph on each point, or clear dot points) based on your research. Your research should include:
• How is patient information collected?
• Who has access to the information?
• What method is used to store patient information? Is it electronic or paper-based?
• What information is given to patients about the privacy of their record?
• How are patient records destroyed or disposed of?
