In order to comply with both regulations and patient demand, health systems must provide patients with electronic access to their designated record set. But considering that patient information often resides not only in the EHR but other applications and archives, providing access to all that information in one patient portal, or even through your current Release of Information process, is tricky. That's because while patients may have a unique identifier in the main EHR, it doesn't carry over to those other data sources. Enter the need for an organization-wide unique identifier that can facilitate bringing it all together. In this timely webinar, we'll speak to leaders about how they are working to satisfy growing patient demand for access to their data and comply with the 21st Century Cures Act.
