Checklist
Cross-border medical record checklist
Cross-border record preparation works best when the packet goal, source files, language needs, and authorization plan are clear before sharing.
Checklist order
Write down the packet goal and receiving team context.
Collect discharge summaries, visit notes, test results, imaging reports, pathology, operation notes, and medication lists where available.
Mark source language, dates, hospital names, and document type.
Identify missing or uncertain records before external sharing.
Review authorization scope before sending anything outside the patient workspace.
Record categories
Discharge summaries, visit notes, diagnoses listed by source.
Lab reports, imaging reports, pathology, procedure reports.
Medication list, allergies, recent symptoms stated by the patient.
Target language, timing, recipient, and authorization scope.
What this is not
- The checklist does not decide which records are medically sufficient.
- It does not replace instructions from the receiving care team.
- It does not authorize sharing by itself.
FAQ
Should I upload every file?
Start with the most relevant records and the packet goal. Large or unclear sets can be staged and reviewed before sharing.
What if a record is missing?
Mark it as missing or uncertain. Do not invent details or assume the receiving team will not need it.
