The goal of the Administration Division is to ensure that administrative matters are handled efficiently and that patients get the service they deserve at the Medical Centre. The functions of the Administration Division include registration of documents and organizing document circulation, record-keeping and records management, transferring records to public archives, and organizing internal supervision and on-time performance of document management functions.
The Administration Division includes the Medical Centre Office of Administration and the Archive. The Office of Administration provides services to both Medical Centre staff and patients.
Patients can apply to the Office of Administration for a copy of their medical records. The Office of Administration can issue copies of medical records to patients only if the records are on file in the archive. Cases where records are still in the hands of medical personnel are handled by the secretary for the relevant structural unit.
Remember that medical records are documents that contain discrete personal data. Estonian legal acts are strictly followed whenever such personal data are released.
