Medical Record Access

Medical record access refers to the ability to view or obtain a patient’s health information documented by healthcare providers. Patients have the right to access their records to stay informed about their health, while healthcare providers can share relevant information with patients, other providers, or authorized entities. Access is protected by laws to ensure privacy and security, and may be granted through secure online portals, written requests, or in person. The goal is to facilitate better healthcare decisions, coordinated treatment, and personal health management while maintaining confidentiality.
