medical chart

Clinical history file

A medical chart is the official record of a patient's health information maintained by healthcare providers.

It contains diagnoses, treatment history, test results, medications, and clinical notes.

Charts may be paper files in folders or electronic records in hospital databases.

Healthcare workers document encounters by charting—adding notes to the medical chart.
