How to Prepare Medical Records for a Cancer Case Review in China
A clear, organized record set can help a receiving hospital understand what information is available and identify what else it may need.
Prepare the available records
Include the diagnosis summary, pathology reports and whether pathology slides are available, imaging reports and whether imaging images are available, recent labs, treatment history, medication list, allergies when known, and the patient's questions.
Label files clearly and state when an item is unavailable. The receiving hospital decides whether the information is sufficient for its review and may request additional records.
Keep the record set accurate
Do not change clinical wording in a report. If a translation is requested, keep the original record with the translated copy and ask which language and format the receiving hospital accepts.
Cliniva does not interpret results. Cliniva China provides non-clinical coordination only; licensed healthcare professionals and the receiving hospital are responsible for medical interpretation and decisions.
Review before submission
Check that each file belongs to the correct patient and that dates and document labels are visible. Share health information only with the patient's consent.
Submitting records does not guarantee hospital acceptance, a response time, an appointment, a treatment option, or an outcome.
