Health Information

Management

Medical records maintained by the Health Information Management department are confidential and legal documents. They cannot be disclosed to anyone without consent of the patient, except for  required reporting to state and federal agencies.

It is important that you fill out medical records release forms to transfer your personal health records to New Horizon Health Center so that your care team has your complete medical history. Forms are available from Health Information Management (Medical Records).  If a patient wishes to obtain a copy of their medical record or to send to another provider, a medical release form must also be signed. A written consent from a patient or a minor patient’s parent or legal guardian must specify the information needed, the purpose for the release, and the name of the person the information is to be released to.
