Medical Record Transfer: Supporting Safe and Informed Care

The transfer of your medical records is one of the many ways in which we can ensure quality health care. At Oran Park Medical Centre, having all of your medical records accessible to us means that we can treat you safely and correctly. This is particularly important for patients who have existing health problems or are taking particular medications such as IUDs.

If the patient wishes to change facilities, he or she must fill out the Medical Record Transfer (PDF) form accurately. We shall get in touch with the patient’s past provider to seek the patient’s files in accordance with privacy laws and health procedures.

They assist our GPs in understanding past diagnoses, test results, immunisations, and other procedures, thereby facilitating a smooth continuity of care from your very first visit. If you want help to fill out this form, help from our staff members will be at your service.

The process of transitioning your medical file from the old care provider to the new one plays a significant role in the process of changing care providers, including your doctor. Our goal at Oran Park Medical Centre is to provide a simplistic, secure, and stress-free process of transitioning your medical file to enable the current physicians to know your previous treatments, current conditions, medications, and any test results from the very start of the first consultation.

In order to request a transfer, patients are asked to fill out a Medical Record Transfer PDF form with detailed and accurate information. After this is done, we will request your medical records from your former medical practitioner with confidentiality and under medical guidelines.
