Requesting Medical Records
The Health Information Management (HIM) Department was formerly known as Medical Records. HIM provides a wide variety of services that help support clinical documentation. We provide these services throughout all of the Nemours Children’s Clinic locations in Jacksonville, Orlando, Pensacola, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Delaware.
We promote patient safety through accurate and timely documentation, which is easily accessible to the health care provider.
Medical records may be obtained by the following people:
- A parent or legal guardian if the patient is under 18 years of age.
- A legal guardian if the patient is 18 years of age or older, but lacks the capacity to consent for himself or herself.
Note: Parents or legal guardians seeking to obtain a copy of the Medical Record belonging to their child who is 18 years of age or older and who has the legal capacity to provide his own consent will need to obtain and produce a written authorization from the patient in order to receive or view the patient's Protected Health Information. - The patient, if the patient is 18 years of age or older or if the patient is recognized by law to consent for himself or herself despite having not yet reached the age of 18.
