Because the five 20th century casebooks include Confidential Health Information (CHI) as defined by Columbia University policies governing data security and privacy, access to them is allowed only under the terms of Archives and Special Collections’ Access Policy to Records Containing Confidential Health Information.
Casebooks from Bellevue Hospital's First Division, which during this period was staffed by faculty from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University. Five volumes are from the hospital's First Medical Division and concern patients with diseases of the digestive system, 1904-1910; rickets (children), 1904-1909; malarial fever, 1904-1907; lobar pneumonia (children), 1907-1909; and abnormalities and malformations (children), 1911-1916. Three volumes, 1866-1868, 1873-1875, 1876-1877, are also from the First Medical Division but are arranged chronologically, rather than by illness. One volume, 1898-1899, is from the First Surgical Division.
The volumes record patients' names, ages, professions, nationalities, addresses, personal and family medical histories, descriptions of complaints, diagnoses, and treatments. Medication and temperature charts are included.
