I have always understood that only the nurses or doctor has access to medical
records and the key. I thought they should be in a locked cabinet within a
locked area (filing room) etc. and only someone like yourself should have access
to the keys. Any admin non medical staff should sign a confidentiality
agreement and do not read or have direct access to the notes, bar filing etc.
Good Luck
