MEDICONNECT SPEEDS PERSONAL MEDICAL RECORDS RETRIEVAL WITH RELEASE OF NEW RAPIDRETRIEVE ENHANCEMENTS

Quicker Electronic Medical Records Retrieval and Increased Information Status Notifications

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, October 30, 2007 —  In order to advance the medical records retrieval experience of its clients, MediConnect Global, Inc. today announced an update to its leading online medical records retrieval and digitization system, RapidRetrieve™. Enhancements speed retrieval of personal medical records, provide improved status updates, and simplify the request process.
Enhancements include:

  • Upload Authorization—All personal medical record retrievals require a signed authorization or subpoena. In addition to mailing or faxing an authorization, case agents can now scan them into a TIFF or PDF format and upload them with a few clicks when they order electronic medical records in RapidRetrieve. This allows the retrieval process to begin sooner.
  • Time Zone Stamp—All MediConnect agent status notes now include an MT (Mountain) time zone indication with the time stamp. This allows status notifications to show exactly when a specific action occurred eliminating confusion due to the various time zones.
  • Record Status Indication—In order to quickly see the response MediConnect agents receive from providers, the electronic medical records link (used to access the retrieved online medical record) now shows whether it is a personal medical record (retrieved record), a no-patient (indicating the provider did not have a patient record), or no-record (indicating the requested record could not be located).
  • New Section Headers—Section headers have been updated to improve client navigation within RapidRetrieve.

“We continually look for ways we can enhance and streamline our patented process to quickly retrieve medical records for our clients,” said Chad Hilton, RapidRetrieve product line manager. “These new enhancements are a direct result of feedback we receive from our clients—their perspectives are invaluable and key to our development priorities.”
