No. The database is primarily designed for people who take care of the equipment so that all the important documents and information is held in one area.
It is hoped that having the data all in one place and using the same consistent information throughout Scotland will allow us to make better decisions about how much money we spend on medical equipment, helping us to better direct the limited resources to where they are needed most.
Generally, the position is that patient information will be held on systems particularly designed to hold that data: these are patient information systems. This is a medical equipment database. However, this decision still needs to be made by the project board and so there is no firm position currently.
