Health Information Department
 |
| The Health Information Department at SCMH was previously known as Medical Records. Today Health Information Departments are vital to health care clinics and hospitals across the nation because this department keeps track of individual's medical records. Medical records contain the history of your health care. These records are a collection of your personal health information collected throughout your life. The information inside these records may sometime save your life in an emergency. Your health care records are confidential and at SCMH, they are guarded with a high level of personal security. Each record contains a persons blood type as well as a history of previous surgeries and illnesses along with a copy of allergies, and your advanced directives for health care (living will). The health information department must also deal with any new regulations as they are handed-out. New federal and state laws require that an individual must provide their personal signature in order to gets copies of their own personal medical record. Relatives or friends are no longer allowed to sign for copies of another person's record, unless they are an appointed guardian or have power of attorney. Always easy to work with and accommodating to your needs or requests, the health information department at Scotland County Memorial Hospital is happy to serve you! |
