The requirement for outcome 1.8, information finnish phone numbers systems, which was a focus for this study, is that ‘Effective information management systems are in place’.
The publicly available RAC accreditation reports provide the most objective and authoritative information on whether an RAC home meet the accreditation outcome of 1.8 information systems The reports also contain information about the type of records used in an RAC home, being EHR or a paper records-based system.
