Records keeping at the American Mission Hospital runs parallel with the history of the medical mission of the founding fathers of the hospital more than a hundred years ago; as records are as necessary for the practice of medicine as medications are for effective treatment.

The Medical Records Department plays a major role in the ever expanding health care field. It deals with continually increasing number professionals involved in the complex process of good patient care. With involvement in the technical and administrative aspects of medical records science in the collecting, processing, storing, and retrieving of health data, the department holds a firm and vital position not only within the organization but also in other institutions.
