Health records have a lot of information. Here’s just some of what is in them:
  • Your medical history
  • Your family medical history
  • Your test results
  • Notes made by your doctor, nurse, or other medical staff
  • Findings from health visits and exams
  • Medicines that have been prescribed for you
  • Suggestions and next steps for your care

A new law requires doctors and hospitals to let patients see their health records. You have the right to ask for your records, see them quickly, and for free.

You can use your records to learn more about your health and to ask questions. This can be a great way to partner with your health team to help you make choices for your health.

You should be able to see notes from your health visits through a patient portal online. If you have any questions about how to see the notes, call your doctor’s office for help.
