Patient’s Access to Medical Records

A patient’s medical record is documentary evidence of the course of his or her medical evaluation, treatment and healthcare services rendered under the direction of a qualified physician.

In accordance with Public Law 1018, National Jewish will honor all requests for inspection and/or photocopies of the medical record from current inpatients, discharged patients, outpatients, and emergency patients.

The patient medical summary is available without charge. Copies of additional medical records are also available. Please contact the Medical Records Correspondence Department at (303) 398-1256 for charges and directions. If a parent wishes to inspect and/or receive copies of their child’s record, requests must be made in writing, signed and dated, and should be made through the Medical Records Department.

Whether your child comes to National Jewish as an inpatient or outpatient, we are pledged to protect your rights in our concern for your child’s wellbeing. We will deliver your child’s medical care thoughtfully, considerately, and at all times strive for excellent quality of care.
