PHI-nd IT™ Personal Health Information Release Management

Western Midrange Corporation Is proud to be a Strategic-Alliance Partner and Value-added reseller for Universata's PHI-nd IT™ Personal Health Information Release Management service

PHI-nd IT™("FIND IT") allows for the disclosure of patient health information (PHI) in a HIPAA compliant manner. It stands head and shoulders above competition from copy services, even ones that use digitization and other technologies. PHI-nd IT™ processes two kinds of HIPAA PHI disclosures: patient-authorized and incidental. PHI-nd IT™ is operated as a sophisticated enterprise-grade ASP service by Universata, secured by 196-bit encryption algorithm, at the IBM hosting center near Dulles Airport in Northern Virginia. Because PHI-nd IT™ is an ASP application; each user is always using the latest version of the application. Actual operation of PHI-nd IT™ occurs at the Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) location on a biometrically secured laptop or PC with one or more high-speed scanners interacting with the IBM center.

Feature Rich Modules

PHI-ND IT™ contains multiple elements that function interactively to provide a powerful, feature rich application. For example:

• The "Disclosure" feature allows PHI-nd IT™ to digitally scan a medical record and make a disclosure by secure e-mail / Internet, fax, or US mail as a FREE service to the MTF by billing the requester of the medical record. Because the medical record documents all aspects of a person's health and medical treatments (the patient's PHI), it is the "lifeblood" of communications and health care transactions for this industry and many other industries not obviously connected to healthcare.
• The "Log AOD" feature allows an MTF to track incidental disclosures, accidental or otherwise, that are required for accountability to the patient under HIPAA. PHI-nd IT™offers this and many other additional features as entirely free services to our MTF customers. Not only does this differentiate PHI-nd IT™but also it plays an important role in our MTF customers' efforts towards being HIPAA compliant.
• PHI-nd IT™application program interface layer (API) works to facilitate information capture and exchange with electronic medical record (EMR) systems and other patient management and clinical system commonly found in MTF's.

Electronic Medical Records Exchange (EMRX)

Many Hospitals and Integrated Delivery Networks (IDNs) desire to have all of their active records accessible on-line 24/7 for use by authorized outpatient providers.

PHI-nd IT™Electronic Medical Records Exchange (EMRX)was designed for just this need. Authorized individuals can access a patient's medical information securely from any browser anytime anywhere. Most IDNs desire to tie their physicians to their hospitals and clinics; EMRX services provide that tie in. One Chief Technology Officer of an IDN told our CEO that, "I have electronic medical records at all of the hospitals in our Delivery system and most of our clinics; however, I cannot get a paper medical record across the street without a delivery person to hand carry it. PHI-nd IT™and the EMRX system is exactly what we need to complete our modernization requirements."

Some of the reasons for an EMRX that go far beyond fast, authorized access are:

• patient safety
• cost reduction
• patient confidentiality
• adaptability of disclosures and,
• improved revenue-cycle management.

Let's take a look at the benefits:

• In an auto accident in an ambulance on the way to emergency? EMRX permits simultaneous authorized access to your medical record in the ambulance, at the Emergency Department, and on the physician's laptop at home as s/he updates before s/he grabs a coat and leaves for the hospital.
• Allergic to drugs? EMRX facilitates higher patient safety & quality of care through quick & more reliable delivery of requested medical records.
• Hate rising medical costs? EMRX reduces courier costs drastically.
  
• Worried about your privacy? EMRX protects patient confidentiality with strict access and audit controls.
  
• Courier service too slow? EMRX permits authorized access anywhere anytime.
  
• Wondering who may be looking at your medical records? EMRX can notify you every time an insurance company or other party accesses your medical records.
  
• Is your health insurance payer chronically slow? EMRX enhances communication between the MTF and the insurance payer.
