𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐒 | Northwestern Cagayan General Hospital conducted its Basic Record Management Training/Orientation on October 21-22, 2026, at the Conference Hall of NWCGH, to help personnel properly create, handle, store, and properly dispose of hospital records.
Participants from clinical, administrative, and support units learned about the records life cycle, proper documentation and filing, retention and disposal schedules, and the safeguarding of patient information under the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173). The session also covered the proper handling of electronic records.
Resource speakers stressed that records management is a shared responsibility. Every staff member who writes, handles, or transmits information helps keep records accurate, secured, and reliable, which supports quality patient care and the hospital’s compliance with licensing and audit requirements.
Through group activities, participants identified common issues in their units, such as incomplete entries and misfiled documents, and discussed practical solutions.
Hospital management reaffirmed its commitment to enhance records management system through regular training, updated policies, and gradual digitization, alligning with the commitment of the NWCGH's mission of delivering quality, transparent, and accountable services.
