Manipulation of Care Documentation – Summary Dismissal Without Prior Warning
Hechos validados
Manipulating electronic treatment or care documentation can justify summary dismissal. The Thuringia Regional Labour Court (LAG Thüringen, judgment of 28.02.2024 – 4 Sa 166/23) confirmed that subsequent alterations to the electronic patient record can irreparably destroy the relationship of trust; the principle applies analogously to manipulation-proof care documentation.
Explicación sencilla
Electronic documents forget nothing. Anyone who falsifies digital times or entries leaves audit-proof traces and risks their job.
Relevancia de seguridad y consejo práctico
Care software must maintain manipulation-proof audit logs.
