In accordance with applicable regulations,
medical registers:
  • develop and managed (or develop and commissioned to conduct by entities performing medical activities) the Minister of Health;

New quality of medical records.

Due the constantly growing importance of improving quality in healthcare, it is assumed to develop appropriate regulations that will allow monitoring and increasing its quality - the set of regulations is to be made by the Act on quality in the protection of patient's health and safety. The process of legislative work on a new legal act was based on the draft statutory assumptions of January 20 this year - its goal is to develop and implement legal and organizational solutions that allow to coordinate and comprehensively implement key aspects of health policy in the area of ​​quality.

The aforementioned project assumes, among others implemmentation of new solutions in the field of functioning of medical registers. The registers are to allow the determination of clinical quality indicators for healthcare providers, which is to be the basis for a new system of monitoring the effectiveness and safety of therapeutic activities. It is expected that development of indicators of this type will allow:

  • assess the quality of health services provided by individual entities or assess applicable procedures, medical technologies as well as medicinal products and medical devices in real conditions;
  • constantly improve clinical practice, including - improve the safety and effectiveness of patient care.

In connection with the purposes of keeping medical records defined in this way, it is recommended to develop them in a way that allows them to acquire knowledge in the field of the legitimacy of the used treatment method, efficacy relevant to the patient, his safety (complications, adverse events) and technologies tested as part of the registers.

In addition, it is assumed that new medical registers will be created according to the so-called principles of good practice and financed or co-financed by the Minister of Health from public funds and they will be avaiable for all patients meeting the criteria for inclusion, i.e. patients:

  • with a specific diagnosis, medical condition;
  • undergoing specific therapy, specific treatment - e.g. a register of procedures or operations;
  • who used a specific medicinal product (phase IV clinical trial);
  • who have used a specific medical device - e.g. a register of implanted hip replacements.
It is expected that the legal act of quality in health care and patient safety will be implement at the beginning of 2018, supplementing the regulations included in the Act of 28 April 2011 on the information system in healthcare. The obligation to adapt the currently operating medical registers to the new requirements set out in regulations by the end of 2021 - until then the currently operating medical registers, defined by way of ordinances, will operate on the current principles.
