Don Hardwick, vice president of client relations and account management with MRO, agrees with the report’s assessment of current patient frustrations. “As a provider of release of information services, we hear the same things. Patients are trying to get information either for themselves as a historical document to better direct and understand their own course of care or to share with consulting physicians for follow-up treatment,” he explains. “There are delays and frustrations that occur not only due to immediate access but also in verifying the legitimacy of the request from the patient.”
