Bed Fills Incident Report
There was an incident that occurred yesterday which concerned me. I happen to overhear a staff member gathering information of a private patient (room number/ extension).

    Mandatory Unit 4223 011

    It is important to maintain confidentiality, sensitive personal data about a patient is recorded during a patients stay in the hospital setting and this information could cause embarrassment to the patient if it was divulged to people who did not need to know, for example, friends or family. In the Intensive Care Unit where I work, we are endeavouring to make our patient notes more secure by purchasing storage desks at each patient's bedside that have a lockable drawer for the notes, and the patients obs chart has a cover over the top, so that only those that need to see it can access it easily. We need to keep our patient records safe as they are a permanent record of the patients medical history. It is advisable to keep patient notes in a metal cabinet in order to preserve them if there was a fire. The hospital also scans notes electronically so there is a copy on a hard disc and archives the notes outside of the hospital environment in a safe storage unit.

    Bed Crisis

    This has caused a line of issues including one being adding more pressure to the ‘Bed Crisis’. In 1955 there was 15,000 beds available for service, in 2012, a re-evaluation was done and beds have dropped at least 40% being about 22,300 beds available across the United Kingdom. Before the cuts, over the past 10 to 15 year’s of questions have been raised repeatedly about whether a minimum safe level of beds was reached (Bhugra 2013; cited through the kings fund 2015). When beds become unavailable to a patient, they usually get transferred to a facility outside their area, most likely to a private hospital. An Experimental research developed by the care quality commission and health and social care information centre discovering that in the years between 2012 and 2013, 4.4 percent and 4.9 percent were found to have been admitted to out of area from their homes (Care Quality Commission, 2015).
