Legal analysis: After medical disputes occur, in order to prevent medical institutions from forging, altering or concealing medical records, the affected party should immediately ask the hospital to copy objective medical records according to the Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents, and the medical institutions should affix a special seal for copying medical records and give them to their families. In addition, both doctors and patients will put all the subjective and objective medical records into the file bag for sealing, and sign and seal the sealing place, indicating the sealing date.

Legal basis: Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents

Article 8 Medical institutions shall write and properly keep medical records in accordance with the requirements stipulated by the administrative department of health of the State Council.

If a patient requests to copy or duplicate medical records in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the medical institution shall provide copying or duplicating services, and affix the certification mark on the copied or duplicated medical records. When copying or duplicating medical records, patients should be present. At the request of patients, medical institutions can copy or duplicate medical records for them, and can charge fees according to regulations.
