PFD Monitor interpretation

Failure to transfer important historical mental health records, including relapse management plans, into the electronic Rio record system

Wider context from the report

“The electronic Rio record system used by staff to access patient histories was introduced in May 2011 when only the documentation for current patients at that date was migrated across to the new system. Discharged patients, with both a long and recent history of contact with mental health services do not appear to have had important records transferred including relapse management plans leaving staff unaware of a patients history or delaying assessments until old records can be obtained. ”

Is this part of a recurring concern?

Yes — Electronic patient records failing to make relevant clinical information available and actionable.
