Registers
The books an inspector asks for. Every one of them writes itself as the work happens, and none can be edited or back-dated — a correction is always a new entry that points at the old one.
Medico-legal cases
2 entriesAssault, accident, poisoning, burns — anything with a legal dimension must be recorded and the police informed.
1 case with no police intimation recorded. This is the gap that gets hospitals into trouble.
Births and deaths
2 entriesReportable to the registrar within 21 days under the Registration of Births and Deaths Act.
2 still to be filed, 1 already late.
Form F — ultrasound
1 entriesRequired for every ultrasound on a pregnant woman under the PC-PNDT Act, retained two years, filed monthly. If this hospital has a scan machine, this is the inspection it should worry about most.
Transfusions
1 entriesBlood issued, the bag number, the cross-match reference and any reaction — required even without a blood bank of your own.
The Schedule H1 register
The pharmacy's H1 book is written automatically at the moment a medicine leaves the shelf — it lives with the pharmacy, and it is included in the inspection pack.
