Introduction. Infirmary registries are of great importance in the medical attention, as they constitute the documentary support in which the information about the diverse activities that are carried out in relation to the patient is recorded. These facilitate the exchange of information among carers, promoting the communication between infirmary personnel and other members of the healthcare team, at the same time, they provide elements to facilitate the evaluation of the healthcare process. This research was oriented to identify the level of compliance of infirmary clinical registries with the Mexican Clinical File (NOM 168) Official Norm, NOM-168-SSA1-1998. Material and Methods. Descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study, where infirmary registries from clinical files used in arbitration procedures at the National Commission for Medical Arbitration (CONAMED) during 2009 were evaluated. A dichotomic instrument, based on the NOM-168. SSA1-1998, was designed and applied to the clinical records. Data was processed using the statistical package SPSS V.15.0, performing statistic and inferential analysis. Results. The compliance general index was significantly acceptable in 73.93% of the cases. Several deficiencies were identified; the most persistent lack of compliance related to the omission of complete name and signature of infirmary personnel, as well as the lack of data related to the description of the patients' observed external appearancer. Data that most frequently was registered according to the NOM included: vital signs, patients' complete name and annotations regarding the administration of drugs. Conclusions. Infirmary personnel is bound to know and attend the general rules of their profession, taking into account that the NOM-168-SSA1-1998, of the Clinical File, establishes the specific lineaments that must be fulfilled due to their technical and obligatory character.
