NRMC Health Information Services

Medical records are an important part of your health care. These records are a written history of your health condition and treatment. They are used by doctors, hospitals, health care clinics, and other health care practitioners and facilities to treat you. The Health Information Services (H.I.S.) Department manages and organizes all the reports and documents that make up your health information at NRMC. The department works with physicians and many other departments in the facility to provide information that is utilized for quality care and patient outcomes.
