Transforming Health Information Retrieval Through Innovation
Release of information (ROI) in the middle revenue cycle workflow is critical to the quality of the continuity of care provided to the patient. In addition, it also plays an important role in billing, legal, reporting, research, and other functions. Medchart squarely addresses one of the slowest, most tedious, and fractured processes: getting patient health records for common business tasks. Medchart lets businesses easily, securely, and cost-effectively access and exchange patient-authorized digital health information for everything from life sciences real-world evidence or insurance underwriting to legal claims.
The company’s cloud-based health information platform delivers complete and accurate digital records, regardless of the original format and in compliance with patient preferences and global privacy standards. Via API access to data, Medchart powers business innovation.
Recognizing the race to online digitization, Medchart is expanding across vertical markets to ensure they can keep up with market shifts and regulatory considerations.

The company is connected to several nationwide and regional health information exchanges across the U.S., covering millions of records and simplifying access.

Through our cloud-based platform, direct electronic health information connections, and advanced analytics, we are transforming the medical record access process for businesses beyond patient care.”
