Abstract:
Tort Liability Law set tougher requirements on the validity and authenticity of medical records,featuring explicit protection of patient rights of informed consent.Based on the changes in the law since its enforcement,the authors studied existing deficiencies of electronic medical records and came up with the following suggestions.Establish sound legal accreditation system for electronic medical records; perfect related laws and regulations to ensure standard application of the electronic medical records; and work out regulations to make medical staff aware of their legal responsibilities when applying electronic medical records.These recommendations will enable electronic medical records better fit the current legal environment onto the track of healthier development.
