Medical facilities are frequently contacted to release patient medical information for a variety of reasons. When a facility is contacted, a specialist creates a Release of Information(ROI) request. Processing ROI requests in a paper-based system requires a large amount of time and resources. ROI requests may require employees to locate, copy, and deliver the requested information to the requester.
With the Release of Information module, these types of requests can be processed electronically and delivered in a fraction of the time. Users can create ROI requests either from scratch within the ROI interface or by using selected charts or documents in the Medical Records Unity Client.
The Release of Information module contains two different modes: standard and integrated.
The mode is determined before configuration can take place and cannot be changed after selection. Overviews of each mode and its features can be found in the following sections:
