MAIN BODY
TASK 1
P1) The statutory requirement for reporting and record keeping in own care setting
Legal and regulatory aspect
A scenario help to answer on legal and regulatory aspect in the given case study which is
regulated by the National health services. They ordered the national regulator to compile a report
on data management and process of health and social care centre. The description is usually
related with the aspect of various law and regulation which help to know the fact within the
aspect of its practices (Manogaran and et. al., 2017). In the regulation of record keeping the law
and regulation which is dealing for various information that is confidential and ethical.
Moreover, the information sharing which is usually drive in order to take place with various
people who required additional information which is constantly saving and attaching with

offers various guidelines in this regards. In this, the general data protection regulation or GDPR
which is helpful in this regards. The process of holding, recording using and disclosing
information which make the whole process of data protection. As per this, the data protection act
help to make ensure about the data confidentiality of information and the need of the
organisation for the information (Ngiam and et. al., 2019).
In a health and social care setting, it is an essential for a registered person on the scene to
protect and make the information safe from misuse and others. The health and social care act

national regulator after the various sad demise in the care setting.
Consequences of Non- compliance:
In the present scenario the individual is died due the the ignorance of record which is not
maintained with care setting. Non compliance as with taking consideration to the record keeping
and and reporting which has lead criticism in the health and social care. Death as result with the
collective ignorance in health and social care has neglected in the image of the setting which is
highly essential in older with diagnose report and their testing report. As per this, they can cause
and help the care setting which may be knowledge of every patient (Singh and et. al., 2019).

P2) Describe the regulatory and inspecting bodies requirement for reporting and records keeping
in a care setting
Record keeping include all the various aspect of paperwork which need to be kept by the
care provider while in your application in the reasons such as health safety and legal protection

As per the scenario, the new staff which assign in a health and social care must know
about the compliance with patient. This is better to know the law and regulation and various
protocol in the requirement of internal and external requirement. In this they are noticed and
verified by the death of patient where in the major of cases this is well identified by checking
their medical history to ensure that the death is natural. This records are must share with family
and their member in order to know the various complication as per this they are being in position
to died (Venkatesan and et. al., 2018).

D1) Evaluate the consequences of non compliance with references to the media service safety
and the credibility of the care setting

health and safety regulation is a criminal offence. This in the provision to an enterprise that is
breaching legislation and this can cause high penalty and fine. There are various issues which
may arises in the context to the industry disqualification and also damage the reputation of firm.
As per this, the media server safety and the credibility of the care settings is very essential in
order to maintain the record keeping and maintain the confidentiality of report. There are number
of consequences such as paying fines and penalties which is higher in amount are the
consequences which is arise in this.
TASK 2
P3 Describe the process for storing of record in own care setting.
There are some standard which has been fixed by the government in relation to storing of record
in an own care setting. Some process which are discussed further. There is first creation of
registration number which is there a unique identifier (alphabetical prefix numerical number) of
each and every record which can help to find out in future. This is able to help you to provide an
evidence that record is created or captured. After this, there record is keep in the either in paper
or electronic record which contain each and every description and all the patient who are there
for getting record (March, 2018).
All the information which is regarding the present is collected and all the report which is
regarding health of the patient is noted there with correct time. There are different types of files
which are like created as a record employee files in personnel department, supplier files in
purchasing department, patients file in community or Hospital settings, client file in community
setting etc. To create a record of the patient there is need to collect all the right information
regarding their health. There is need to update all the new information about that patient. There is
need to provide present information of patients care along with its condition. There is need to
create the information in such a manner that in future it will provide each and every small
information about the recent health (Lee and et. al., 2018). There is need to keep in mind that all
the the initial data which include date, time, entry should be noted clearly. Record should Store
securely in relation to give the required information and follow the local policy.

P4 Reason for sharing information with external bodies or within own settings
There are many reasons for sharing information of any patient which is either in on
setting care or with external bodies. In this, there are many reasons and which one of the specific
reason is to provide better care and treatment to that patient. This is one of the main reason to
share the information regarding the patient's health in own care setting. Share the information
gives better knowledge about the patient health that can physician or medical practitioner is able
to get the health information about the present and provide accordingly better treatment. Sharing
of information about the patient with in own care setting also helps to identify any new way to
treat better. This can help by sharing the recent information regarding health with other medical
practitioner or physicians. This sharing can help to get each and every physicians view that can
find out easiest way to treat to provide better treatment to that patient. Sharing information
regarding their patient with other physician can help to find out new way on new technique for
better treatment (Davies, 2017). There is also a sharing of information with the nursing staff who
are there to provide better service and care to the patient. Nursing staff is able to take care of
each and every activity of present that is from providing medicine on time to the time when the
patient is getting discharge after treatment. Sometimes there is a need to share the information of
the patient with external bodies. This is the condition when there is some order from court
regarding sharing of information of patient. It is illegal or unethical to share of information with
external body. There is need to keep in mind that the patient information is getting shared with
external body should we agree about that. When information of the patient is suffering with
external bodies then other body should be closer to the patient and patient is not able to provide
any caretaker for him or her. In this case information regarding the patient can be shared with
external bodies that are their parents or their guardian. This can also be done when there is any
order or warrant has taken to collect information of that patients health that can help in to resolve
any case. Without concern of the present, there should not be sharing of health information of
that patient with anyone either they are their family member or close friend (Bender, 2017).
P5 internal and external requirement for Record Keeping in own care setting
There are many internal and external requirement for recording information in own care
setting. There are some of the internal requirements for record keeping is that this information
can help in the future to get the reference. It also helps to know the medical history that can help
in to treat better of diseases who have the patient acquired. Internal Record Keeping can help

patient and doctors of physician to provide better treatment according to medical history of that
patient. There are some of the external requirement for record keeping which are like to show as
evidence about health issue to show as an evidence to legal authorities. Internal requirement for
help identify the medical history which is related with the case and this can also help and
beneficial for the patient when this information is for good news (Granados-Chinchilla, 2017).
M2 current processes in own care setting regarding and storing and sharing record
In relation to storing and sharing of record of the patient, is one of the high priority for
health care setting and is there is need to keep in mind that there should not be any leak of the
information that can used for negative action. There is collection of all the information in one
place as a record. There all the information is there with the name of physician or doctor under
which patients was getting treated (Bomberg, 2017).
D2 evaluation on per setting arrangement and processes for sharing information and storing
along with recommendation for improvement
It can be seen that all the information about the patients health should not shared with
anyone without the concern of the patient. To store all the data of each and every patient, there is
a storage room where all the records are kept with their unique numbers.
Recommendation- It is recommended that there is need to focus moron record sharing of
the patient without concern. There is need to keep the information in a safe place where no one is
allowed without the permission and authority to that place. There is also need to focus on the
process in which the medical history is being prepared and recorded (Agüero, 2017).
TASK 3
P6 Describing the role of Technology in recording and reporting in own care setting
There are different role of technology in recording and reporting in own care setting in
which some of them are going to discuss further. Technology play an important role in
healthcare. Each and every test require use of different type of technology that is in their
machine. So, it can’t be denied that technology is not involve in his care setting. In relation to
keeping record is also require a role of technology. There are many patient and each have their
own health record. So, in relation to record them all in proper manner computer are used.
Computer is able to keep all the information of either of soft document or physical evidence
information (Matar and et. al., 2018). Electrical information refers to information or data that is

collected on electronic device like computer, laptop etc. Physical information refers to
documentation for creating a file images of paper. It is hard to find each and every present record
in current time manually. So, there is use of technology which is able to find information about
any patient just by entering their name, age and many more. Technology is there, that can help to
collect all the information on the single platform that is able to access by any corner of world.
This can help to share the medical history of the patient with other health professional as per the
requirement. Technology have the high role in sharing and collecting information (Kaipio,
2017).
P7 Benefit of involving service user in Record Keeping processes
There are many benefit of involving service user there in the process of record keeping in
healthcare or own care setting. There are many benefits and some of the benefits which are
discussed further.
Involving the service user who is there in own care setting that shows that, there is
transparency during the record keeping and creating a record. This transparency says that there is
no change in the record keeping in comparison to actual process. Involving the service user
during the Record Keeping process says that there is their accountability. Involvement of service
user record keeping also confirms that there is no interchange in the record keeping or any type
of misconduct during recording the information and data. It also provide benefit that involving
the service user shows that they are being participated in their Healthcare role where during the
recording of health of that service user. Involvement of service user also help in improvement in
the service which is there provided by the health care setting. This helps in to improve the quality
of public health activities like patient was suffering from long term illness (Wade and Halligan,
2017). They are able to get better treatment and proper care. Involving service user can provide
better potential in relation to accessibility and acceptability of health services. There is higher
and better quality of services are being delivered in relation to provide better treatment to the
patient.
M3 Use of digital technology in medical management processor for care plan
First of all, there are many different data technology are used in medical healthcare
management procedure and care plan. In an Healthcare services from starting to end, there is use
of digital technology. During entry, there is a need for the registration process where computer is
used to create the entry of patient initial information about that patient. In own care setting each

and every process either diagnosis or treatment. There is use of digital technology during
diagnosis. There are different machines are used for this diagnosis process which is an example
of digital technology. Digital technology also use to share the information with other physicians
or doctors who are in other corner of world. This sharing information help to get the latest
knowledge information about the treatment (Partridge and Gallagher, 2018).
D3 Effectiveness of use of Technology in term of service user needs and to maintain
confidentiality
Technology is used during recording of information about the patient health involvement
of service user shows that there is no change of information in the record. It also ensure that
service is there about each and every processor and information. This also ensure the service user
about each and every procedure and information. Technology provides better security to the
access for files and folders. Involving the service user in process of record keeping give the
confidence about security of data. In relation to maintain confidentiality of the record of patient,
involvement of service user who have the right to have their information safe and not to share
with anyone (Blakey, 2017).
TASK 4
P8) Produce accurate, legible, concise and coherent records regarding services user care for
different services user following own setting guidelines
Record keeping is the key channel which is provide the integrated services to the children
and their families and carers and terms of this. The consistent recording process are essential for
the planning of services and also helpful in taking that is season and information sharing quality.
Recording with a employing the number of ways is used to provide documentary evidences of
the authority and the involvement within the usual service user. There are number of recording
which is used to finalize in three working days for the event. The service users and care are to be
informed of the right to access their records and they have a proper guidelines. Which used to

organizational structure is maintained in such a way which is help to to make a collaborative
organization. As per this, life cycle the creation of receipt to the eventual. This position is
necessary because it help to identify, classifying, story retrieving, securing tracking and
destroying for permanently. Preserving the records is useful for the history of medical checkup
of any patient or any other terms in the healthcare organization. The institutional memory is very
important and it have to maintain in order to provide the best possible treatment or diagnose that

correspondence feature which is available and the rewards the advanced technology such as
computer and laptops are used in effective way to maintain the data and the backup for the
longer period of time. This allow user to enable the data and search as per their requirement
(Lewis, K., 2019).
