Whenever a patient wants a copy of their medical records, a family member or nurse will ask for a Medical Record Request Form.
They can either fill out the form, take it down to the Medical Records Department, and get their medical information once they're discharged.
Or they can fill out the form and give it to you so you can place it directly on the front of the chart. Usually, the patient will write the address where they want the medical records sent (their doctor or themselves). By placing it directly on the front of the chart, when you break it down, the first thing that Medical Records will see is that form request, which they can get right on top of.
