What RHIO services are available?
Services that Rochester RHIO offer include a Virtual Health Record (VHR), a web-based query tool, makes the exchange available to participating health care providers. All they need is internet access and the appropriate authorization. This tool allows them to search by patient name or other identifiers to obtain information that supports your treatment lab reports, medication history, insurance eligibility, etc. Additional web based tools are available to add electronic prescribing, clinical messaging, and EHR lite functionality. This provides physicians a practical and incremental approach toward automated record-keeping. The RHIO architecture also supports integration with third-party EHR software. The RHIOs clinical messaging routes test results automatically to ordering physicians. This can save hospitals and radiology practices time and money in results distribution, and eliminates the need to develop different interfaces to communicate with different practices.
