Medical Records
Medical records provide a clinical history of the patient's treatment in the hospital. It also functions as a documentary support or evidence of confinement, diagnosis, and treatment received, usually required by Philippine and international insurance companies, offices and schools.
When securing medical records: During admission or stay at the hospital:
Fill out the Medical Information Release (MIR) form available at the Nurse's Station. The nursing aide can secure the medical record for you. You may have the records requested within the day.
Note: To avoid delays in filing of insurance claims, patients are requested to secure copies of their medical records before discharge.
After discharge from the hospital:
1. Fill out the MIR form and secure an approval for release directly from your attending physician and the Medical Director. MIR forms are also available at the Information and Concierge Counter. 2. Submit the approved MIR form to the Medical Records Management Department (MRMD) located
at the 5th Floor, Annex I Building for processing. 3. With the exception of the Clinical Summary and OR records, requests will be processed upon
submission of approved MIR. Note: You may request via phone, fax, or e-mail. However, you still have to secure the approval of your attending physician and the Medical Director before the prepared records from MRMD are released.
For Emergency Department admission:
Fill out the MIR form and submit to MRMD for processing. Your attending physician and the Medical Director must approve release of the medical certificate and laboratory results.
Note: With the exception of a duplicate Birth and Death Certificate, all copies given to patients are marked "Certified True Copy." |
