Accessing one’s healthcare history from CHRISTUS Health involves a defined process. Patients seeking their information must typically complete an authorization form, providing necessary identification details and specifying the records requested. These forms are then submitted to the appropriate CHRISTUS facility’s medical records department for processing.
The ability to obtain these documents is vital for continuity of care. Patients can share their health information with new providers, ensuring informed medical decisions. Moreover, reviewing one’s medical history empowers individuals to actively participate in their healthcare management. Historically, accessing these records was a cumbersome manual process, but advancements in technology have streamlined the procedure.
