Medical Records
Medical Records is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All physicians are
required to make a personal visit once a week to sign all available records.
Failure to do so will result in suspension of practice privileges. Please
make sure to sign the log sheet so that Medical Records will have a record
of your visit.
It is the policy of the Medical Record Committee that moving of records from
clinics to offices be kept to a minimum and that records taken to offices
not be held there more than 48 hours. Adherence to this policy is vital for
adequate control of and accessibility to patient records. It is also the
policy that upon notification, each staff member is responsible for
delivering to a clinic, and/or emergency room the records in his possession
that are needed for patient care.
