A medical record release form is a legal document that authorizes patients to share their health information with other providers, specialists, or organizations. It ensures coordinated care, proper communication, and compliance with HIPAA regulations, safeguarding patient privacy while enabling seamless information exchange.
A general medical history form is essentially your patient’s comprehensive healthcare record, documented. It is what doctors use to quickly understand their health background, such as past illnesses, surgeries, allergies, medications, and more, so they have all the information they need before having to ask a hundred questions.
