Introduction

Medical record department was in existence Since from the inception of the hospital .This department consists of working area with huge space for storage of medical records which are to be used for Patient, Medical Professionals, various Health Agencies , Legal , Insurance and other hospital needs. These are being preserved for about ten to fifteen years.

Department has to sections namely:

1. Out-patient Department.
2. In-patient Department.

Out-patient Department is De-centralized keeping in view of better and quicker medical services to the patient. Thanks to our Medical Director Dr. Col. A. K. Singh (Rtd.) under whose guidance we hove successfully changed the Out-patient system from Centralized to De-centralized way. Under this system patient need not wait for a long time either at the Central Registration Counter or in the department where the patient require services. Even filing and retrieval for follow-up is being done in the respective department.

For In-patient there are two admission Counters, one at the ground level and another at the Causality. IPD Registration takes place in these two counters. After admission patients are being treated in the ward and no. of forms are used to document the patients treatment . After discharge such Medical Documents are processed at MRD like assembling and deficiency check, completion of the case-sheets , discharge analysis , compilation of statistics , coding and indexing of diseases and operations etc. Completed case-sheets are filed for all future needs of the hospital.

Computerization

 At present OPD Central Registration and IPD Registration are Computerized and Inter-linked . Computerization at Out-patient Department level and at MRD. are under progress.
