New corona positive is also reported as "negative" due to entry error in medical record Mie Ise April 24, 19:56
Mie Prefecture announced that it was newly confirmed that a woman in her 60s living in Ise City was infected with the new coronavirus. The Ise Red Cross Hospital, which performed the test for this woman, apologized for the interview because he mistakenly told the patient and Mie Prefecture that he was negative due to a mistake in filling out the medical record.
The infection was confirmed in a woman in her 60s who is a nursery school cook living in Ise City.
According to Mie Prefecture and the Ise Red Cross Hospital, a woman had a fever on the 11th of this month and was diagnosed with pneumonia at a medical institution on the 14th, so she was tested at the local Ise Red Cross Hospital.
As a result, infection with the new coronavirus was confirmed on the 17th, but the hospital reported it was negative for the woman and the prefecture due to a mistake in filling in the medical record by the clinical technologist.
However, on the 23rd, another clinical laboratory technician apologized to the woman because he noticed a mistake in the confirmation work, and reported the correction to Mie Prefecture.
This error means that the woman was hospitalized late, but after the fever this month, she did not go to work and was waiting at home.
The nursery school where women work is closed temporarily from the 24th.
“I have done something that could damage the trust of everyone in the community with a simple mistake,” said Dr. Kusuda, director of the Ise Red Cross Hospital. I apologize. "
The number of infected people in Mie Prefecture was 44.
