Patient question
When submitting medical records to an online cardiovascular specialty service, which personal information can be redacted first?
Answer reviewed by Gao Yuxia, Chief Physician
Professional answer
First confirm the recipient is a legitimate institution and use its designated channel, then ask which identifying information is required. If the institution permits, you can redact home address, payment information, or ID document contents that are unrelated to the consultation. Keep the examination dates, examination content, and information needed for the doctor's assessment. Retain the unmodified original documents, and do not post complete medical records in public comment sections.
