I would add that I see the difference between \"medical history\" and \"medical record\" as: history = one\'s experience (e.g. family history of cancer) and record = the written chronology by medical staff.

disagree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Clinical history is just a part of the medical record. See http://www.answers.com/topic/medical-records for a full definition.

  -> I'm confident that (here at least) medical record is the term for the "ficha" as described by the asker (mine dates back to birth); NB the website you give says "medical record" and "medical history" are synonyms, but that the record is written...
agree  María Leonor Acevedo-Miranda: the only and one... Um abraço Português
