Health Records Management Policy
An editable NDIS health records management policy covering how participant health records are created, stored, accessed, corrected and disposed of. It applies to every worker who creates or handles health information such as medical histories, medication records and incident reports.
What is inside:
- Purpose, scope, definitions and policy statement
- Types of health records you may hold
- Responsibilities of managers and workers
- Record creation standards: timely, factual, plain English, signed, dated and never altered without a correction notation
- Storage and security for paper and digital records
- Participant access requests answered within 30 days, and correction requests
- Retention table, including 7 years from last service and until age 25 for children's records, and secure disposal
- Records and evidence list, legislation table and approval block
Good to know: Victoria, New South Wales and the ACT have their own health records laws. Adapt the policy to the jurisdiction where you deliver supports.
