Medical Records
Your medical record is a collection of information about you and the health care you’ve received. It is updated each time you see a healthcare professional.

Request for Amendment to the Medical Record
You have the right to request an amendment to your medical record if you believe the information is incorrect or incomplete. The amendment would include the information you believe is in error, and your proposed corrections to that information.

Your Medical Record
Your medical record typically includes your medical history, details about your lifestyle (i.e. smoking, competitive athlete, etc.), and family medical history. Results of laboratory tests, screenings and other procedures are included along with medications prescribed and any allergies you may have.
Your medical record may consist of both paper and electronic documentation. Your electronic medical records may be referred to as your Electronic Health Record (EHR).
Your medical record/EHR contains protected health information. Copley Hospital follows the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which sets a national standard for the privacy of health information. HIPAA applies only to medical records maintained by health care providers and health plans.
All medical records/EHRs of Copley Hospital patients, regardless of whether they are created at, or received by, Copley, are the property of Copley Health Systems, Inc. The information contained in your Medical Record/EHR is available to you or your legal representative.
