According to the provisions of Article 1222 of the General Principles of Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), if a patient is damaged in the medical treatment activities and a medical institution falsifies the medical record, it is presumed that the medical institution is at fault. At the same time, the minutes of the Eighth National People's Congress refined the above provisions, that is, if the causal relationship between medical behavior and damage results from the tampering or alteration of medical records by the parties, or the fault of medical institutions and their medical personnel cannot be identified, the party who altered the medical records shall bear the corresponding adverse consequences. However, if the medical records only contain typos and are not written according to the standard format of medical records, it will not affect the identification of the authenticity of medical records.
