Patient Information

Every patient will choose whether to make their health information available to authorized health care providers through Rochester RHIO's secure online exchange.

Most patients currently allow medical professionals to exchange radiology and lab test results, prescription and other information as a routine part of their care. Before the electronic health information exchange, such information was shared via postal mail, fax machines, and phone calls. The RHIO allows it to be exchanged faster and more efficiently using a secure online exchange.

You can join the vast majority of patients who choose to take advantage of this potentially lifesaving resource.

Next Steps

1. Decide if you want your doctor to have access to your health information through the secure health information exchange. (Need more information? Call our patient answer line, 1-877-865-RHIO.)
2. Complete a Patient Consent Form. Forms are available at your doctor’s office or you can download the form HERE.
3. Bring your completed form with you to your doctor’s office so that they can verify your identity.
