# Past Medical Records

The **Past Medical Records** screen allows users to view details of past patient visits for the selected date range. Users can also update [**Medical Records**](/uniteemr/application-modules/medical-records.md) details, such as **Diagnosis**, **Medications**, **Casesheet**, and other consultation information, for the respective patient visit. Records remain editable for up to 24 hours from the patient's check-in time.

Past medical records can only be edited within 24 hours, as per regulatory guidelines. After 24 hours, the medical records will be locked and cannot be modified.
