Your Medical Records

We're Here to Help You

Your medical record includes a comprehensive history of your health care at Duke Health, including information about diagnoses, treatments, test results, visit summaries, and immunization records. Obtaining this information does not have to be stressful.

View Your Medical Records Fast

The fastest way to view your medical record is through your My Duke Health account. Because we participate in several health care information exchange networks, if you choose to see a provider outside of Duke Health, they may be able to access your medical record easily.

If you don't have a My Duke Health account, you may request your medical records by fax, email, or mail.

How can we help?

Authorization Forms

Written authorization for medical records is required and must be submitted directly to the Duke Health Information Management department.

Access Forms

Health Information Exchange

Health information exchanges (HIEs) are networks of electronic health information that permit healthcare providers or other healthcare entities, such as your health plan or health insurer, to share your health information for treatment, payment, and other purposes permitted by law. By seeing records of past care received at other locations in an HIE, providers can make more informed decisions about care plans and avoid duplicative or unnecessary treatment. Learn more.

Living Wills and Advanced Directives

If you are 18 or older and mentally competent, you have the right to make decisions about your medical care. Advanced directives are legal forms that help you make decisions about your medical care.
