'Krankenakte' (medical record) is made up of 'krank' or 'Kranken' (sick) and 'Akte' (file). So it refers to a file containing medical information about a sick person.
Die neue Krankenakte enthält alle wichtigen Informationen zur Behandlung.
The new medical record contains all the important information about the treatment.
Common collocations include 'eine Krankenakte anlegen' (to create a medical record), 'eine Krankenakte führen' (to maintain a medical record), and 'etwas in der Krankenakte vermerken' (to record something in the medical record). These expressions describe the management and documentation of medical information.
Die Praxis hat für den Patienten eine elektronische Krankenakte angelegt.
The practice created an electronic medical record for the patient.
When someone wants to read the information in their medical record, a common expression is 'Einsicht in die Krankenakte nehmen' (to review the medical record). After 'in', the accusative is used here: 'in die Krankenakte'.
Die Patientin möchte Einsicht in die Krankenakte nehmen.
The patient would like to review her medical record.
