Rochester RHIO is a secure online resource developed by and for doctors, hospital systems, health insurers and privacy officers in the nine-county Greater Rochester area. Its purpose is to share essential patient information quickly and accurately with authorized health care providers.
In a medical emergency, the Rochester RHIO can save lives by offering providers immediate access to crucial patient health data. It also improves routine medical care—doctors can spend less time hunting down test results and health information, and more time diagnosing and treating patients.
The Rochester RHIO is being created by a community collaboration involving health care providers, payers, hospitals, public health organizations and businesses.
