Please note the note on the applicable legal version.

The medical history ordinance (KgVO) was Berlin state law until 2006 .

The last version of the KgVO was enacted on October 24, 1984 and specified Section 27 (5) of the State Hospital Act (LKG). On September 16, 2006, it was superseded by the Hospital Ordinance (KhsVO) together with other hospital regulations.

The medical history was defined as "all medically essential records made while in-patient treatment of a patient in hospital ". In addition to the essential content and formal requirements for the documents, the standard for Berlin hospitals set particularly long retention periods for the treatment files (usually thirty years).

The federally uniform medical professional regulations only prescribe ten years. A 30-year retention period is otherwise only required for patient files from radiation therapy ( RöV § 28 para. 4, StrlSchV § 43 para. 3).
