Management Of Medical Records In Selected Public And Private Health Institutions In Owerri, Nigeria:-Nnadozie Chizoba D.
ABSTRACT
The need for
an empirical investigation of the relationship between medical records
administration and librarianship, ascertain the methods of managing these
documents and highlight the attendant challenges in Nigerian hospitals provided
the major thrusts of this study. The health facilities which served as the
subjects of this research were drawn from an equal number ofpublic and private
hospitals located in Owerri, Southeastern Nigeria. A fourteen-item
questionnaire was used to obtain information which were analyzed and presented
in frequency tables. Findings showed a nexus between librarianship and medical
record practice though none of the hospitals surveyed employed librarians or
other bibliographical experts in their medical records sections. Further
findings revealed general inadequacies in accommodation, working facilities and
staffing though the pubic-owned hospitals fared better than those established
by private individuals. Recommendations were made to remedy specific lapses and
by so doing, improve the current trends in the management of medical records in
Nigerian health institutions.
