Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Information Governance
  • Patient Data Management

Background:

  • Electronic Patient Records (EPRs) have significantly improved healthcare quality and efficiency.
  • However, centralized databases and easy data sharing create concerns regarding consent, access, and usage.
  • This study focuses on privacy, confidentiality, and security issues within a UK maternity hospital's EPR system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine organizational and socio-technical challenges of EPRs in a maternity setting.
  • To identify issues related to privacy, confidentiality, and security of patient data.
  • To propose solutions for effective information governance.

Main Methods:

  • A preliminary questionnaire survey was distributed to 52 personnel, with 24 responses received.
  • Respondents included IT, health information departments, and midwifery managers.
  • Semi-structured interviews were conducted with clinical and technological representatives.

Main Results:

  • Several information governance (IG) issues were identified.
  • A significant challenge is the breach of personal information sharing without patient consent.
  • Immediate action is required to rectify these breaches.

Conclusions:

  • There is an urgent need for enhanced accountability in data sharing at local and national levels.
  • Cultivating a culture of data ownership and strict adherence to IG principles is essential.
  • Targeted training is necessary to balance data utilization with patient privacy rights.
