Kan. Admin. Regs. § 28-17-14
It shall be the duty of the state registrar, or his duly authorized agents, to inspect the records of all hospitals and other institutions, both public and private, as often as in the judgment of the state registrar it may be necessary to do so.
All hospitals and institutions shall keep a record of personal particulars and data concerning each person admitted or confined to such hospital or other institution. This record shall include such information as required by the standard certificate of birth, death, and stillbirth forms issued under the provisions of this act. The record shall be made at the time of admission from information provided by such person, but when it cannot be so obtained, the same shall be obtained from relatives or other persons acquainted with the facts. The name and address of the person providing the information shall be a part of the record.
