Emergency
Casualty, MLC and deaths, recorded right.
The doctor records the casualty note by voice, and it is written up to sign. Every patient in casualty is on one board, from arrival to admission or going home. Medico-legal cases are recorded with the police details at the time, and a death’s papers are asked for until they are done.

Who is in casualty, and what each is waiting for
Today
Where the time goes today.
-
“MLC details are written later, from memory.”
The police and the court ask for what nobody wrote down.
-
“Casualty patients are lost between the board and the ward.”
Admitted on paper, still on the board, or the other way round.
-
“A death’s papers are missing when the family needs them.”
The certificate and the summary wait for whoever is free.
How it works
Four steps, start to finish.
-
1
Arrival on the board
The desk adds the patient with their complaint. Triage shows who is seen first.
-
2
Seen and noted
The doctor records the casualty note by voice, with consents taken on screen.
-
3
MLC when it is one
Marked as a medico-legal case with the police details, on the record from the start.
-
4
Admitted, sent home or died
Admitted to a bed in one step. A death asks for its certificate and summary until both are done.

Questions hospitals ask
Can casualty admit straight to a bed?
Yes. The patient moves from the board to a ward bed in one step, with everything recorded so far.
How are medico-legal cases handled?
The case is marked as MLC with the police details when it is recorded, and the papers print with them.
Who records a death?
Only a doctor. The stay then asks for Form 4, the death summary and the handover of the body until each is done.
