[Background]
Despite institutional complements such as the mandatory installation of CCTVs in operating rooms (ORs), ghost and substitute surgeries continue to occur, drawing criticism from the National Assembly.
[Main Points]
Specification of Required Entries for Surgical Records to Verify the Participating Medical Staff, Surgical Method, and Content
The required entries for surgical records will be explicitly specified to ensure verification of:
Patient identification details.
Pre- and post-operative diagnoses.
Date, time, method, content, duration, and progress of the surgery.
The medical staff participating in the surgery and their specific roles.
(Note: Currently, surgical records are included under the category of "medical records, etc." as per Article 22 of the Medical Service Act.)
