Your medical record contains information on your health history and the care and
treatment you received during your stay with us.
The medical record is the property of the
hospital and it must be completed by all physicians involved in your
care before it can be copied and released to the patient. Therefore,
you may not receive a copy of your medical record upon discharge from
the hospital.
Patient-related information may be released to
a physician or medical facility for follow-up and continued care of
the patient when needed.
Your medical
record is a confidential document, so your written authorization is
required before a copy can be released. If you're 18 or older, you
can get an authorization form from the medical records office or
call 336-476-2475. A fee may be required to provide a copy of your
records.
