Erroneous Information in Medical Record

Posted by lilypearl @lilypearl, Aug 9, 2025

Two doctors (a resident and a supervisor) did a presurgical optimization video visit with me in May 2025.
When I got the interview report from them, they had signed off with the wrong information about me.
I'm jumping through hoops now trying to get my hospital health record (legal medical record) corrected.
Faxed in my request to amend my record and received a denial letter. The hospital health information department would NOT APPROVE my request to correct MY medical record.
I was specific with my reasons and asked if I needed to get an attorney to help me get my health information corrected.
Still waiting to hear about my disagreement.
Anyone have a similar issue with their health information being wrong?
The hospital system I'm dealing with is huge and often buys up other "smaller" healthcare systems.
Not good energy for a recuperating surgery patient.
Patient advocate insight is appreciated.
Thank you.

My husband had a consultation with a urologist. The physician was advised that he had a stoke ten weeks prior and has mild aphasia.
I reviewed the clinical notes posted from that appointment. It stated he has "mild dementia".

I submitted a request to have that statement removed. I haven't received a response yet.

He does not need for the diagnosis to follow him around.

@steveseach1949 always check the notes. the drs are working fast and see too many people in one day to get notes correct every time. I now have 3 doctors who are using AI dictation. Who knows how well these systems usnderstand all of our dialects
