Who can obtain a medical record without authorization?
Some parts of the medical record can be shared automatically with insurance companies for billing purposes. The patient's name, birth date, hospital record number, date of admission and discharge, diagnoses or diagnostic codes, comprise the basics of what is shared for insurance purposes. However, even a "next of kin" has limited access to a patient's medical records. Cases of child abuse or suspected criminal activity (attempted poisoning of a patient), criminal acts by a caregiver, or communicable diseases that could affect a community often mean that patient medical records or information is shared, in part or in whole, to authorities.

Why would it be very important to have good spelling and grammar when using medical terms?
When writing in a patient's legal medical record, you are recording events and issues as they occur. Using medical terms denotes that you are competent, and educated. If poor spelling and grammar are present, it immediately poses to question to the reader: "Is this the person that I want to be treating me/my patient and documenting my illness and issues?". Another issue is that if a medical term is misspelled, it could actually mean something else! For example, if a patient is to have a medication "QOD", but the spelling is incorrect and written as "QD", then you are basically saying that the patient should have the medication EVERY DAY (QD) when it was meant to be taken EVERY OTHER DAY (QOD).
