The objective of this Standard is to specify the physical aspects of paper health records and minimal requirements for the design of health record forms to ensure that paper health records are fit for purpose, easy to use, consistent within and across Healthcare Providers, and address legal, safety and quality requirements.
Scope
This Standard specifies requirements for the physical aspects of paper health records, including size, quality, reproducibility, layout, colour, division, methods of fixing, and cover. This Standard also provides advice on design of forms for incorporation into health records.
This Standard does not address specific record content in terms of the quality of clinical documentation requirements. For clinical documentation requirements refer to National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards produced by the Australian Commission for Safety and Quality in Health Care.
