A common filing difficulty is the situation where newborns are
given different names after they leave a hospital, and records
management personnel must try to locate the correct paperwork when
the baby returns for follow-up examinations. Respond to the question
at the end of this scenario:
Maria Diaz delivers her baby girl at your hospital. After an
uncomplicated stay, Ms. Diaz and her baby girl are discharged. The
baby’s medical record is labeled with her medical record number and
the name Diaz, Baby Girl (Maria) and filed according to your
hospital’s procedure. Two weeks later, Ms. Diaz brings her baby back
to the hospital’s emergency room where the baby is admitted to the
pediatric ward under the name Angel Gonzales. This is the baby’s
given name, and the name reflected on her birth certificate that Ms.
Diaz completed and mailed in to the state. The Pediatrician on the
ward calls your department. He states that the baby, Angel Gonzales,
was born at your hospital 2 weeks ago and he would like to see the old
record. You have difficulty finding a record for Angel Gonzales
because it read, Diaz, when it was previously filed. What processes
might you implement to make neonatal files easier to manage?
