Peter,

Best Practice has the ability for patient records to be made confidential within the practice. In that circumstance, the record can only be opened by the "usual doctor" or by using the over ride code (determined by the practice principal in our set up). I find it useful for records that pertain to staff and also family. I believe it could be used in the scenario you describe.

I am quoting a client that is a mixture of GP and other healthcare providers, for example nutritionists. They want a clinical record system where records are able to be protected, as in if you are not the provider that saw the patient you don't have access to the clinical record, until the provider that 'owns' the record allows you permission to do so.

Leaving aside the problems with this implementation (I've had a long discussion on why this is generally not a good idea), is there any Australian clinical software that can do this at present? This ability was touted as part of Best Practice, but I don't know if it was implemented, or is in use at all.

thanks,
Peter.
