working?
Recording of Patient Data
 How is data recorded for patients being
seen outside a clinic environment?




Patient visited at home (or elsewhere)
Data handwritten onto paper records
Clinician returns to base
Patient data entered retrospectively into
EMIS Web patient electronic record
Why is this not effective?
 Security of patient data whilst in transit
 Increased administrative time for clinician
 Errors in data entry when translated from
handwritten notes into electronic record
 Delay in visibility of patient data to other
clinicians/services
