Medical Records: Tees Valley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent progress he has made in digitising patient records in NHS trusts in Teesside.
Answered by Karin Smyth
University Hospitals Tees (UHT), comprising of the North Tees and Hartlepool and South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trusts, continues to progress its ambitions in digitising patient records across Teesside, North Yorkshire, and County Durham.
A recent digital patient record success for UHT was the achievement of the BSI0008:2020 accreditation. This means that the scanning bureau at the North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust now holds the accreditation equivalent to that of major national and international organisations for storing patient information electronically.
