being a records manager in a pct, all of the rich clinical data is held in paper format and only a minimal amount of data is beginning to be coded via snomed coding. If you take the gp example we are many years away from eprs and we will have a lot of paper records to manage retrospectively until we have systems mature enough to code and summarise and thus edms will play a role now and in the future. I like all of you have the same issues around storage, archive and access

No you are not the only one with paper records; I am paper based and
also retain documents in Storage Boxes.

I do believe that Paper will never go out of fashion no matter what the
technology out there can do!!

I also use my Brain as my computer for data storage rather than the
computer as it is less likely to crash and burn?

So for those of us out here that still use a Mangle to dry clothes off,
can we still offer the Paper Based Record Managers a slice of the cake
without the need to turn all 21st Century.

Alex

Hi All,

Everyone seems to be on a very different page to me - I feel light years
behind as most of my records are stored in boxes, not electronically.
Am I the only one out there with paper records????

Not sure this helps with topics for future meetings, but please can my
situation be considered?

Thanks

Regards
Elaine

Just wondered if people would be willing to come forward with any
burning
ideas for our quarterly meetings next year?

Something I am mulling over is a day dedicated to Knowledge
Management/Information Management so we could have a clearer idea about
what they are about and how they interrelate [or not] with records
management.

Another idea is taking a look at what records managers do and what it is

perceived that we do possibly with a facilitator to challenge some of
our ideas
and take us out of our comfort zones.


What other ideas are out there?
