Request Records is the process used to request patient records electronically from any other provider or organization for purposes such as care coordination, workman’s compensation, legal reasons, etc. Request Records uses a comprehensive, but simple, request form to ensure all appropriate request information and consents are included.
While the record request form can be used with any provider using fax or Direct messaging, we have also integrated the system with companies that are contracted to support record request fulfillment for one or more facilities. This allows for advanced functionality, including the ability to present a filtered list of participating facilities to those in your surrounding geography. For integrated facilities, stat requests can also be prioritized to ensure timeliness of delivery for emergent situations.
