Medical Records

Release of Information

A patient, or his/her legal representative, may inspect and/or obtain a copy of their medical records, or have copies of medical records sent to another facility. Washington Hospital Healthcare System requires a completed and signed Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Health Information form before releasing any documents to anyone, including the patient.

  • We ask that you specify what components of your medical records you wish to obtain/release. Often, the Discharge Summary, Operative Report and History & Physical contain relevant information to suit your needs.
