Many people do not just want their records, they want to understand more about HIPAA's rules and standards. People also want to learn about electronic health records, not just paper-based files, which may also include understanding how long clinics and hospitals keep your medical records.

Before we discuss RWJ University's medical record system in detail, here is some additional background on how to get medical records from anywhere, as well as how to make a specific medical record request from anywhere. This article discusses medical record release forms.

Now let us explain how you get your RWJ medical records.

The 3 Ways to Get Your RWJ Medical Records

1. Visit the Patient Portal

This gives you standard info. It shows you notes from your last visit, results of lab work, medication you have been prescribed, radiology test results, etc. To get these records you go to the portal by clicking here. Once you have opened the portal home page, you can check if you have an account. If not, you must go here to check, by entering your email address. If the system cannot find you, you can register on the same page.

If you do have an account, simply enter your login details:

• Your username.
• Your password.
• If you cannot remember your password, click the "Start Recovery" button.

Once you have logged in, it takes you to the secure portal where you select the records you want. Please note that if you need additional support, RWJ's email address has changed, and you must now contact patientportalsupport@syntellis.com

2. Submit an Online Request Form

You may get a request for records from using this method. You can use it for both the standard information available via the patient portal and for your other records which are not available that way. Make use of this option by using the Patient Request app hosted by Ciox. You may request electronic delivery in PDF form, or you may request paper documents by US mail.

You will receive an immediate acknowledgment by email that your request has been received, and it will be processed within 3 - 5 business days.

To make your request you need to have the following:

• Must have a photo ID available to prove who you are.
• Have a mobile phone nearby to submit the photo.
• Should use (Ciox recommends these) Chrome, Firefox, or Safari unless you want to do everything on your smartphone.
• Choose to use a smartphone or continue via your computer.
• Smartphone: select that option and follow the instructions.
• Computer: confirm whether you are the patient or not. If not, you will need additional documentation to show you have a right to see the patient's records.
• Enter your email address.
• Confirm your email address.
• Complete the medical records request form in detail and submit it to RWJ.

If you are not the patient, you must provide authorization such as POA, guardianship, etc. The system gives you every documentary option to select from.

3. Submit a Paper Medical Records Request Form

You may ask for a request form by contacting the hospital (see phone and fax numbers below) or by going online to Request Medical Records and downloading the request form. Please remember, you must have an Adobe account to print the form. You can get a free subscription at the time.

You may submit the completed form by:
