Overview

About Medical Records Management

Medical records management, in the sense we mean it, is the administrative handling of records: keeping them organised, answering requests for them in line with your policies and making sure documents reach the right place. It is not the interpretation of clinical information.

We help with the workflow around records: indexing and filing documents, tracking requests and responses, and keeping a log of what was received and sent. Access is limited to what your practice grants, and your practice decides what may be released.

What the work can include

  • Indexing and filing incoming documents consistently
  • Tracking record requests, due dates and responses
  • Preparing records for release when your practice has approved the request
  • Keeping a log of documents received, sent and filed
  • Helping to tidy backlogs, such as unfiled or unlabelled documents

How it fits with your team

How information is handled depends on the agreements between your practice and us. Those are put in place with each client separately before any records are accessed.

Common challenges

Where administrative work tends to get stuck

Practices come to us when routine business tasks start taking more time and attention than they should.

  • Work without a clear owner

    Tasks are shared between people who are also busy with patients, so follow-up is easy to miss.

  • Inconsistent processes

    Each person does the same task a little differently, which makes errors harder to spot.

  • Scattered documentation

    Information sits in email, paper files and separate systems, and is slow to find when it is needed.

  • Limited visibility

    It is hard to see what is in progress, what is waiting and what needs a decision.
