Behandlingshistorik

Behandlingshistorik refers to a systematic record of all medical or therapeutic interventions a patient has received, typically maintained as part of health records. The purpose is to document the course of treatment, support clinical decisions, monitor outcomes, and enable continuity of care across providers and over time. A complete behandlingshistorik usually includes patient identifiers, dates of services, diagnoses, procedures and codes, prescribed medications and dosages, treatment modalities, responses and outcomes, adverse events or allergies, and relevant consent or refusals. It may also contain discharge summaries, follow-up plans, and notes on changes in treatment due to tolerance, contraindications, or patient preference.

Behandlingshistorik is commonly stored in electronic health records (EHRs) but can also exist in paper charts. It is subject to privacy and data-protection rules; access is typically limited to authorized health professionals, and patients may have rights to access and request amendment or restrictions of information where allowed by law. Data quality is essential, as incomplete or inconsistent entries can affect safety and care.

In practice, behandlingshistorik supports clinical decisions, safety checks for drug interactions, planning of subsequent therapies, and evaluation of treatment effectiveness. It is also used in research and quality improvement when appropriate safeguards are in place. The concept applies across healthcare domains, including medicine, dentistry, mental health, and rehabilitation.
