Having a copy of your medical records is your right.

Records that must be given to the patient-
discharge summary, referral notes, etc., have to be shared with all patients including those who are discharged against medical advice irrespective if the bill payment has been made.

Records that can be given to the patient after a formal application-
indoor papers, operative notes, investigations, etc., requires a formal application from the patient. The copies of these records given to the patient are generally attested as true copies by the hospital.

Records given only with direction of the court -
some OPD and IPD records, especially those of medico-legal cases cannot be given to the patient without the direction of the Court.

Healthcare is not a one-way street: empowered patients are engaged in their care, actively collaborating with their physicians, sharing responsibility for their care. The providers (doctors, nurses, etc) are still the providers, but the patients share in both the knowledge and the responsibility for how it all turns out.

And, certainly, the decision making.

"As part of an ongoing effort to empower patients,the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) USA, has decided to give patients a means to access their laboratory reports."

Thinking from an Indian context, isn't it strange that US citizens didn't have access to their own medical reports earlier?

In India on the other hand, patients always get a copy of their medical reports. That way Indian patients are likely to be more empowered regarding their health.

And this is the concept that MDHR hopes to strengthen.

The overwhelming reason for keeping your own medical records is this action can save you a lot of money, and possibly your life. Everyone, even those in great physical and mental health, should keep full and up-to-date medical records.

Having access to your own medical records saves your healthcare personnel from performing many tests, costing a lot of money, to establish the basic information already known. It may also expedite your visit to a doctor, especially when traveling, so keeping electronic copies of your records accessible from your mobile device at all times is a great idea if you’re often on the road.
