All health care facilities are required to maintain medical records, including hospitals. According to Permenkes RI No. 269/2008, medical records in hospitals must be kept for at least 5 (five) years from the date the patient was treated. Medical record documents that are of no value should be destroyed so that the room where medical records are stored becomes large. Based on the preliminary study, it was found that the Islamic Ibnu Sina Hospital (YARSI) Padang had never been destroyed. The purpose of the study was to determine the factors that influence the implementation constraints of the destruction of inactive medical record documents at the Islamic Hospital Ibnu Sina (YARSI) Padang in 2020. The research method used is qualitative research with a case study approach. This research was conducted at the Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital (YARSI) Padang from February to September 2020. The technique of determining informants used was purposive sampling. The number of informants was six people. Data collection techniques are observation, interviews, and literature study. Data analysis used content analysis techniques. To maintain data validity, source triangulation, method triangulation, and documentation review were used. The result of this research is that the inactive medical record destruction activity has not been implemented. There are obstacles that the activity has not been implemented because of insufficient officers or personnel, training is rarely attended by officers, policies and SOPs for the destruction have existed but have not been realized, the materials needed are incomplete, and the implementation of medical record retention has not been completed.
