The coroner's concerns
1. lack of uniform national case management system for electronic storage of patients' records
“Evidence was given in the inquest to the effect that medical General Practitioners have no uniform national case management system for electronic storage of patients' records”
2. inability to store electronically all historic documents such as referral letters
“case management system is unable to store electronically all historic documents such as referral letters from one clinician to another”
3. mixed electronic and paper storage of patient information
“some patient information is stored electronically and some in paper form making it difficult for the GP to note quickly all relevant patient information”
