Revolution in medical records tracking.
It is now over two years since the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary implemented its locally developed computerised Medical Records Tracking System. The benefits of the system, which has turned a well organised Central Records Library into a highly efficient production unit for the Aberdeen Hospitals handling some 3,000 medical record movements per day, can best be illustrated by knowing that there were only 10 missing medical records for the 70,000 attendances at outpatient clinics over the last 3 month period.
