Hi Gerard, The 'loaf of bread' is true here. The 'stitching up a wound' for a Healthcare Practitioner is not for a variety of reasons that include issues from Homeland Security to potential future lawsuits.
The reporting requirements associated with 'rendering medical assistance' can change from Juridiction to Jurisdiction and from Insurance Company to Insurance Company, but on a global scale it is a good idea to 'widen' the EHR to sufficiently cover the maximum requirements. Expect 'pushback' if the standard does not require the identity of the Patient be included in the report being filed, and expect to be required to file a report. Additionally, when 'stitching up a wound' you are in many cases 'rendering assistance', e.g., 'post-injury'. A multitude of 'situations/cases' spring to mind that can/have involved other organizations with a potential interest in the 'injury' and the 'post-injury assistance'. Should check further.
