The coroner's concerns
1. delayed referral processing due to paper based notes
“electronic notes enhance the ability of clinicians to document and provide care and aid communication between different clinical teams and departments”
2. incomplete medical history due to inaccessible records
“have access to any previous clinical notes from other organisations to confirm his diagnosis”
3. delayed appropriate care and treatment
“Access to electronic notes at the earliest opportunity would make it far easier for clinical staff to provide appropriate care and treatment”
