Medical records management

Medical records management is the systematic process of collecting, storing, and maintaining patient health information. It includes everything from medical histories and treatment plans to test results and billing details. Effective management ensures that this sensitive information is accurate, secure, and easily accessible to authorized healthcare providers. This helps in delivering optimal patient care, facilitating communication among medical staff, and complying with legal and regulatory requirements. Proper records management also protects patient privacy while ensuring that vital health data is available when needed for ongoing medical decisions.
