Download or read book Medical Record keeping in South Africa a Medico legal Perspective written by Retha Margaretha Britz and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical records are the source of medical information. The keeping of medical records is crucial to the provision of quality medical care to patients. Deficient medical records can influence patient management and the continuity of medical care, which may result in inadequate health care (College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia, 2014:1; Canadian Medical Association, 2012:3; Howarth & Gillespie, 2012:2; Pirkle et al., 2012:564; Wong & Bradley, 2009:4; Mann & Williams, 2003:329). Medical records are also medico-legal documents. They are used to defend doctors against legal action and also to inform expert medical opinions in the case of medico-legal litigation. Therefore, good medical record keeping is of paramount importance (Van den Heever & Lawrenson, 2015:3; Howarth & Gillespie, 2012:2; McQuoid-Mason & Dhai, 2011:85; Shamus & Stern, 2011:110). Accurate medical record keeping is also a requirement of section 27A of the ethical and professional rules of the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), registered under the Health Professions Act (Act No. 56 of 1974) and promulgated in Government Gazette R717/2006. According to this act, the HPCSA has to provide doctors with guidance regarding ethical and professional conduct. The guidance is provided in the form of booklets. Booklet 9 provides guidance on medical record keeping. The Medical Protection Society (MPS) is the leading protection organisation for doctors. It protects and supports their professional interests. The MPS has also published guidelines regarding medical record keeping for its members to abide by in South Africa. This study compares the medical ethical guidance documents and relevant legislation in South Africa to ascertain the extent that the medical ethical guidance documents incorporate and repeat South African legislation regarding medical record keeping. The study also determines if the quality of medical record keeping influences the outcome of medico-legal cases in South Africa. Lastly, it determines, by a brief comparison of relevant South African legislation and medical ethical guidance documents with relevant Canadian law, guidelines and practices, if the different medical ethical guidance documents in South Africa regarding medical record keeping have value to the required extent. The study concludes that the courts in South Africa do not always consider the medical ethical commitment that doctors have in terms of the Health Professions Act i.e. to abide by the HPCSA's medical ethical guidance booklets. Therefore the quality of medical record keeping did not influence the outcome of the cases reviewed in this study. It is also concluded that the HPCSA needs to implement a system to ensure that doctors are trained on the topics covered in the HPCSA guidance booklets, and that such training is adequately monitored. The HPCSA further ought to provide supervision in the form of physical assessments of doctors' medical record keeping practices and patient practices. This will ensure that the HPCSA regulates professional and ethical conduct, as required by the Health Professions Act. The training and assessments by the HPCSA should form part of the licensing standards to be met by doctors to practise medicine in South Africa. This will limit, to a great extent, medical errors due to inadequate record keeping in order to enhance patient safety and quality medical care. It is further concluded that the references to and repetition of relevant legislation and the HPCSA guidelines should be removed from the MPS guidelines. The HPCSA guidance Booklet 9 should be updated with the guidelines pertaining to medical record keeping in South Africa currently contained only in the MPS guidelines. This will create a consolidated guideline under the HPCSA and the current MPS guidelines can then be discontinued.

Download or read book Diversity and Division in Medicine written by Anne Digby and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an innovative investigation of pluralism in health care. Using both extensive archival material and oral histories it examines relationships between indigenous healing, missionary medicine, and 'western' biomedicine. The book includes the different regions within South Africa although focusing in most detail on the Cape, the earliest area of white settlement. In a wide-ranging survey the division in medicine between 'western' and indigenous medicine is analysed through an exploration of the evolving practices of healers, missionaries, doctors and nurses. The book considers the extent to which there was a strategic crossing of boundaries in the construction of hybrid practices by these practitioners, and the extent to which patients pursued health by sampling diverse care options. Starting with missionary penetration during the early nineteenth century, the volume outlines interventions by the colonial state in medicine and public health, and the continued resilience of indigenous healing in the face of this. The book ends by relating past to present in scrutinising the legacy of historical structures - including those of the apartheid state - for current health care, and in briefly discussing the huge challenges that the HIV/Aids pandemic poses in impacting on them. The book thus provides an inclusive history of medicine for the 'New' South Africa.

Download or read book Records Management in the South African Public Health Sector written by Ngoako Solomon Marutha and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sound records management is a centre of business success. Proper records conservation ensures proper business accountability, planning, decision making, problem solving, authentic information access, monitoring and evaluation of the business processes and services. Records are used as an evidence of the work already done and decision already taken. This book is therefore discussing records management practices, challenges and needs/opportunities. One chapter is specifically focused on the research methodology used in the social scientific study. Effective records management usually result from strong top management support with enough budgets, effective training, and other fundamental resources. In the public health sector, poor records management negatively affect timely, effective and efficient healthcare services. Organisational failure to meet records management needs/requirements usually results in long patient waiting times and patients being treated without their medical history. The introduction of an ERM system that is capable of capturing and providing access to a full patient record and tracking paper records movement may result in a sound records management.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-16 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their later years, Americans of different racial and ethnic backgrounds are not in equally good-or equally poor-health. There is wide variation, but on average older Whites are healthier than older Blacks and tend to outlive them. But Whites tend to be in poorer health than Hispanics and Asian Americans. This volume documents the differentials and considers possible explanations. Selection processes play a role: selective migration, for instance, or selective survival to advanced ages. Health differentials originate early in life, possibly even before birth, and are affected by events and experiences throughout the life course. Differences in socioeconomic status, risk behavior, social relations, and health care all play a role. Separate chapters consider the contribution of such factors and the biopsychosocial mechanisms that link them to health. This volume provides the empirical evidence for the research agenda provided in the separate report of the Panel on Race, Ethnicity, and Health in Later Life.
