Request Patient Data

Type: Fill Checklist

Request Patient Data The Request Patient Data process begins when a clinician requires access to patient information for diagnosis, treatment or management purposes. The requesting clinician submits a formal request to the Medical Records department. A medical records technician verifies the identity of the requester and ensures the requested data is relevant to the clinical purpose. If approved, the technician retrieves the required documents from electronic health records (EHRs) or physical files and compiles them into a secure packet for transmission. The compiled patient data is then transmitted securely to the requesting clinician via digital means, such as email or encrypted messaging platforms. The recipient verifies receipt of the data before using it for clinical purposes.
