Hi All,
I'm just reading through the '4.2.4 Control of records' in conjunction with a book called, 'ISO 9000 Quality Systems Handbook' by David Hoyle.
What I am understanding from the book is that every record has to be controlled.
Now this may pose to be a problem for me, as we are a care company providing homecare in the UK. We have the following documents that are controled:
1. Care Plans - outlining instructions on what a care worker is to do with a client.
2. Charts - charts record information required by the care plan - items such as bowel movements, any episodes of aggression, medication administration charts etc.
Now the charts are completed on a monthly basis by care workers and brought back to the office at the end of the month. The Care Plans are static and stay at the client's home.
Simple question: Do these completed charts need to be controlled? We have so many client's and all of them have so many charts - do they all need to be controlled individually? The chart templates, which are unique to each client are controlled to log changes etc. However, do the completed charts i.e. records need to be controlled?
I cannot believe they need controlling - I would be sitting here all day long processing records to control if this is the case!
Just a little worried.
Thank you for your advice in advance.
