Accreditation criterion: Indicator C6.2 B

Indicator C6.2 B – If your practice is using a hybrid patient health record system, a note of each consultation/interaction is made in each system, and that record includes where the clinical notes are recorded.

Meeting this Criterion

Your practice must have a patient health record system that suits the needs of your practice, whether it is an electronic, paper-based or hybrid system.

If you use a hybrid patient health record system:

• All practitioners in your practice, including locums, must know that the patient health record system is a hybrid
• All practitioners, including locums, who see a patient must know to look at both systems in order to access all relevant information
• Information in both systems must be readily available at all times
• Information does not need to be duplicated in both systems, but there must be a clearly visible note in both systems stating that the practice uses a hybrid patient health record system and where information is recorded
• You must be working towards recording at least allergies and medications electronically
