This section keeps on file medical records of all discharged patients, documented accurately and readily accessible for retrieval of information. Medical records are of vital importance clinically for the immediate diagnosis and treatment, and in many ways to the family and the community. The importance of the medical records to the hospital cannot be overlooked. The medical records facilitate evaluation of the hospital services in terms of improvement and efficiency through lowered mortality and morbidity and better patient care. Managing a large repository of documents can be a challenging task. Documents need to be carefully categorized and filed systematically. The recent computerization of record filing and the new scanning system (CD Document Recorder Software) make it easy to store and organize huge volumes of documents, thereby, making the records readily available for studies, researches, reviews, and other evaluations. The section is ably manned by competent staff ever so helpful and ready to extend a helping hand to anyone who needs the service.
