Hospital record access is often needed for epidemiologic research. In a recent study, 26 Denver-area hospitals were contacted for permission to review records. The review process, the decision regarding access, and hospital characteristics were analyzed. Hospitals with a review committee, larger hospitals, and those which reached a decision rapidly were most likely to grant access. These results may provide guidance to investigators planning studies requiring review of hospital records.
