Who owns the patient medical record
Freak
The doctor and the patient.
The patient owns the information; the doctor owns the media or paper.
The doctor and the patient.
A spouse can look at the patient's medical records only with the express consent of the patient.
The Medical Records Department prepares and maintains patient records.
Legally, medical records are owned by the employer of the doctor who compiles them.
The patient owns their own medical records. The facility that maintains them DOES have the authority to charge her a reasonable fee for copying them. Under HIPAA laws they can deliver them only to the patient directly (NOT a family member) or send them directly to her new medical provider.
Two types of patient records are electronic health records (EHRs), which are digital versions of patient charts, and paper-based medical records, which are physical documents containing patient information and medical history.

yes medical records are confidential due to the sake of the patient's privacy
It means patient died
No, electronic medical records are not available to the public. Anyone's medical records are completely confidential and restricted to the doctor and patient unless other permissions are given by the patient. Patient Portal is a product offered by CureMD with the EMR which is actually for the patients and doctors to check and maintain medical records from anywhere.
