Ask the treating hospital how to obtain copies of your records before you leave. Requirements depend on the document and who collects it.
List what you need
- Ask your next clinician which notes, test reports, procedure records and medicine details are needed. List the treatment dates and departments.
- Ask separately about images, consent copies and receipts. A medical certificate or English summary may require a clinician's appointment.
Confirm the request process
- Check the required identification, forms, fees and collection time with the issuing hospital. Ask whether a translated document is available.
- If another person will collect the records, confirm the required consent, authorization and identification documents before they visit.
Check and transfer the copies
- Check that your name, dates and requested documents are correct. Ask when missing or unfinished reports will be available.
- Keep the issuing office's contact details and use a secure transfer method agreed with the next clinic. Do not send patient records to Med-in-Korea.
