Medical Information
How to access records
When you go for a diagnostic test or procedure, let the person giving the test or procedure know that you would like a copy of the test results or procedure report.
At each doctor appointment, ask for a copy of any new information added to your medical record. You may also want to write your own notes detailing what happened at every appointment.
If you spend time in a hospital, ask to take a copy of your medical record with you when you leave.
If you have completed treatment, it is not too late to compile a personal medical record. Write to your healthcare practitioners ask for copies of your records.
