Department of Medical Record Management was established in 2009, and it is composed of examination section and management section. Outpatient health records and X-ray films are centrally managed since 1994, and inpatient health records are since 2001. After launch of the electronic medical record system in 2009,we have managed the discharge summary format. We also manage format of the explanation and consent forms recently.

The health information managers who belong to this section check the format and content of the health records and other various attached documents. When the managers find any inappropriate content in health records, they report it and discuss with the corresponding clinical department to improve quality and accuracy of the health records.

This section takes a responsibility of properly keeping health records, documents and X-ray films both for inpatients and outpatients, and, if necessary, of providing clinical information of patients to clinical departments in the hospital. This section attempts to contribute to activities of the hospital by providing any service to all medical staff who wishes to use health records for clinical, research and education purposes.
