LEADING LITIGATION FIRM SELECTS MEDICONNECT TO RETRIEVE HUNDRES OF MEDICAL RECORDS ONLINE
Burke Harvey and Frankowski Successfully Scales Medical Record Retrieval with Existing Staff Using MediConnect`s RapidRetrieve™
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, October 23, 2007 — MediConnect Global, Inc. today announced that The Burke, Harvey and Frankowski Law Firm of Birmingham, Ala. selected MediConnect Global’s RapidRetrieve™ to provide automated retrieval of hundreds of patient medical records when required for class-action or personal injury litigation.
The Burke, Harvey and Frankowski Law Firm is one of the leading law firms specializing in mass tort, defective products, and medical device litigation—litigation that always requires the use of their clients’ patient medical records. RapidRetrieve, MediConnect’s online system for retrieval and digitization of medical records, gives Burke Harvey the ability to handle a fluctuating volume of medical record requests whether it is just a few records or hundreds of medical records in a very short time frame and while maintaining a minimal office staff.
Burke Harvey selected MediConnect over other options based on three key needs:
- A patented medical record retrieval process that is proven to successfully retrieve and digitize medical records from any provider nationwide.
- A service that could scale from a small amount of record requests to a large amount of requests with consistently high quality service with no additional staff requirements.
- A business relationship providing a flexible pricing system that charges only for the records requested with no monthly fees.
“MediConnect’s system was quick and easy to implement—we were signed-up and using the system in less than an hour,” said Peter Burke, partner at The Burke, Harvey and Frankowski Law Firm. “To retrieve medical records ourselves would require significant staff resources as well as additional investments in computer hardware, software and scanning equipment. RapidRetrieve not only meets our criteria, it allows us to do it more efficiently and professionally with the resources we currently have.”
RapidRetrieve allows the firm to quickly order, track, retrieve, and view digitized medical records through a secure account on the Internet. RapidRetrieve’s user-friendly interface provides document tracking, gives up-to-the-minute updates on record requests, and ensures fast turnaround of medical records anywhere. Some of the advanced services available from RapidRetrieve include customized online authorizations, Bates/page stamping, chronological sorting, affidavit /certification, record reviews and OCR text searching.
“The Burke Harvey and Frankowski’s litigation expertise highlights MediConnect’s value in rapid trial preparations,” said Matt Rees, MediConnect’s vice president of account management. “We’re pleased we can provide a service that will assist them in performing the best possible litigation for their legal clients.”
RapidRetieve is available at http://www.mediconnect.net or http://www.mediconnect.net/sign_up.asp as a web-based service for all types of record retrieval with a special focus on medical records for the legal and insurance industries.
