RCN e-Health policy documents launched
Published: 25 July 2008
The RCN has this week launched two e-Health policy documents entitled “Consent to access, share and create eHealth records” and “Nursing content of electronic patient / client records”.
The documents cover a wide range of e-Health issues such as the definition of consent, obtaining consent to access records, standards and the structure expected for nursing content and safety. Emphasis is placed on patient care being the primary driver for deciding on all electronic nursing content.
The briefings were published following joint work produced from the RCN Information in Nursing Forum and RCN staff.
