KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. – February 12, 2007 – Medical Records Online (MRO), the market leader of in-house, release-of-information (ROI) solutions for healthcare providers, announced an agreement to provide ROI processing services to Henry Ford Health System. Under this agreement, the Detroit-based health system will incorporate MRO’s ROI Online® technology with its existing electronic medical record system. The new workflow enables the organization to bring its ROI process in-house and partner with MRO to provide the back-office fulfillment functions.

“This agreement enables our organization to improve our operational processes and generate significant revenue without adding staff,” said Karen Schmidt, director of medical record services for Henry Ford Health System. “The move from a copy service to a release-of-information service allows the HIM department to leverage the electronic medical record and enhance customer service. The transition to MRO’s ROI Online has been very smooth and MRO has done an excellent job of helping us manage that process. Combined with MRO’s ability to integrate their workflow with our EMR system makes this a no-brainer.”

“We are very proud to partner with a leading organization like Henry Ford Health System,” said Stephen Hynes, vice president of sales and marketing for MRO. “Healthcare organizations are investing tremendous resources in electronic medical records systems and many requesters are requiring electronic delivery of requested records. These changes are transforming the ROI industry and the ability to link these two parties for a true end-to-end electronic release process is the future of our business.”
