Medical Records Collection, Retention, and Access
Medical records are those records kept on individual patients by providers that include health history, diagnostic information, and provider notes, among other pieces of data. Medical records can be kept on paper or electronically. This topic covers records maintenance as a condition of provider licensure, recordkeeping requirements for a variety of facilities, and laws governing record retention and ownership, access to records, data collection, and storage and destruction.
