Unlocking Patient Medical Records Through Digital Retrieval of Clinical Data

Thousands of times a day, at health systems throughout the US, workers manually search for patient medical charts, print them out on paper, or save them to a file—and then fax, mail, or email them to a payer or third party who has requested it.
