Abstract

Introduction: The patient's MEDICAL RECORDS are the main source to provide healthcare organizations with needed information. These documents can be used for several purposes such as medical research and patient's treatment continuity. Only on condition that they are properly maintained they can be utilized by healthcare organizations. Thus, the aim of this study was to survey the MEDICAL RECORDS MAINTENANCE in Iranian HOSPITALs.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, which was conducted from 2012 to 2013. The study population consisted of all HOSPITALs of Iran (890 HOSPITALs). A checklist was sent to all HOSPITALs in Iran by the Ministry of Health to collect data. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics in SPSS (version 16) software.Results: The study revealed that 73.7% of medical record departments` space was allocated to store the MEDICAL RECORDS. Most of the HOSPITALs used unit-numbering system for numbering MEDICAL RECORDS (41.8%). Straight serial numbering was the FILING method used in most HOSPITALs. 14.9% of HOSPITALs used document imaging for maintaining MEDICAL RECORDS along with the traditional FILING approach (paper based).Conclusion: Based on the results of the present study, MEDICAL RECORDS MAINTENANCE in some HOSPITALs of Iran does not meet the standards. Therefore, reaching comprehensive national standards of MEDICAL RECORDS MAINTENANCE is recommended by the Ministry of Health and medical education.
