Implementation of the Duties and Powers of the National Preventive Mechanism in 2012 Keeping registers It was proposed that Izlake EH place greater emphasis on fast and efficient notification of the need for an non-regular examination of a resident, and particularly to a strict keeping of a register of (regular) appointments for examinations by a general practitioner as well as a psychiatrist. The above mentioned nursing home had in fact established a register of appointments for examinations by both a general practitioner as well as a psychiatrist. Although the NPM was perhaps not provided with conditions for the best inspection of the above mentioned register, as the nurse in the infantry was absent at the time of the visit, it could still be concluded that shortcomings in keeping registers were present. In particular, it might be deduced from notes in the register of regular examinations by a psychiatrist, that not all residents of the high level supervision were regularly examined. In its response report, the nursing home in question explained, among other matters, that exact registers of examinations by both, a general practitioner as well as a psychiatrist were kept. In its opinion, the procedure is entirely correct in professional terms, but, since an independent unit of Trbovlje Community Medical Centre operates within the nursing home, the notification of urgent and non-regular examinations is direct and fast and the response is immediate and efficient.
