+'''Medical records and medication documentation''' refers to the collection, verification, storage, and use of an incarcerated individual’s health information and prescriptions within the [[Federal_Bureau_of_Prisons|Federal Bureau of Prisons]] (BOP) system. Health Services staff review medical histories, conduct intake screenings, and document ongoing care in the inmate’s medical file in accordance with federal regulations and BOP policy framework, including practices described on BOP’s public Health Services pages and the Code of Federal Regulations for inmate medical services<ref>{{cite web |title=Medical and Health Services |url=https://www.bop.gov/inmates/custody_and_care/medical_and_health.jsp |publisher=Federal Bureau of Prisons |access-date=November 29, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=28 CFR Part 549—Medical Services |url=https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-28/chapter-V/subchapter-A/part-549 |publisher=Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR) |access-date=November 29, 2025}}</ref>.

-## Overview
+Medical records matter from the moment of intake through release. During admission and orientation, clinicians assess current conditions, verify outside records and prescriptions, and decide on continuation, substitution, or discontinuation based on clinical judgment and institutional formulary availability<ref>{{cite web |title=Medical and Health Services |url=https://www.bop.gov/inmates/custody_and_care/medical_and_health.jsp |publisher=Federal Bureau of Prisons |access-date=November 29, 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Health Care Management Resources |url=https://www.bop.gov/resources/health_care_mngmt.jsp |publisher=Federal Bureau of Prisons |access-date=November 29, 2025}}</ref>. Requests for health information and disclosures are administered under federal law and BOP policy, with inmates able to request copies of their health records through designated institutional processes and via the BOP’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) portal for records subject to disclosure<ref>{{cite web |title=Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) |url=https://www.bop.gov/foia/ |publisher=Federal Bureau of Prisons |access-date=November 29, 2025}}</ref>.
