This is the most important question we are most often asked. We speak to you before and after the operation to check you are personally happy. We want to fulfil our duty to you in the\u00a0Patients Rights (Scotland) Act 2011<\/a>. There is a\u00a0Charter of Patients Rights and Responsibilities<\/a>\u00a0to go with the most recent published 27\/06\/2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To check all operations we do more. This fits with the Healthcare Improvement Scotland\u2019s mission of \u201c…better quality health and social care for everyone in Scotland<\/em>\u201d. They advise use of standard questionnaires, called\u00a0Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)<\/a>. The electronic system we currently use is called the\u00a0British Spine Registry (BSR)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When things go wrong we make sure you know as we believe in being open and transparent. This is called Duty of Candour detailed in the\u00a0Duty of Candour Act 2016<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Duty of Candour (Scotland) Regulations 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hospital there are ways of discussing and reporting any issues when things go wrong or there are problems. We record any issues on your medical records on a system called TRAK. There are operation records on a system call ORSOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an\u00a0Adverse Event Reporting System<\/a>\u00a0called DATIX with this and other policies for NHS Lothian Hospitals on the internet from July 2019. Along with this we aim to comply with the\u00a0Scottish Mortality and Morbidity Programme<\/a>\u00a0(M&M). We have meetings for the whole team every 3 to 4 months. We started using the hospital TRAK M&M from 16\/07\/2019 so these discussions are on your medical record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just ask if you want to know anything else about your care and tell us how you want us to feedback to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
