# HKClinicalRecord

A sample that stores a clinical record.

```
class HKClinicalRecord
```

## Overview

The clinical record stores information about a single condition, procedure, or result. While the record’s properties expose some high-level information, the  [`fhirResource`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKClinicalRecord/fhirResource) property contains the underlying data from the user’s healthcare institution.

Note that the record inherits the [`HKSample`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKSample) class’s [`startDate`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKSample/startDate) and [`endDate`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKSample/endDate) properties. However, the system does not populate these properties with information from the FHIR data; instead, the [`startDate`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKSample/startDate) and [`endDate`](/documentation/HealthKit/HKSample/endDate) reflect the time and date when the system downloaded the FHIR data to the device.

## Topics
