As orthopedic networks expand, the urgency of finding solutions that address the complexity of managing patient records tends to increase. Coordinating the release of information (ROI) across locations can become time-consuming and inconsistent without a scalable system.
Fragmented systems not only slow internal operations but can also affect patient outcomes, especially when timely referrals or surgical decisions depend on complete records.
Fortunately, practices looking to improve this process now have access to a no-cost, centralized record release solution built for orthopedic networks.
Why Growth Makes Record Management Challenging for Orthopedic Networks
Multi-location orthopedic practices face unique administrative and regulatory challenges. These issues, if unaddressed, can gradually erode operational efficiency and patient satisfaction.
Inconsistent Turnaround Times: Different locations using different tools can create a patchwork of disconnected processes. This can cause delays, leading to referral issues and missed opportunities to deliver timely care.
Compliance Complexity: Practices must ensure HIPAA and 21st Century Cures Act compliance across all sites. Without consistent internal protocols, it becomes difficult to enforce time-based release standards.
Operational Burden on Staff: Manual release of information processes consume significant staff time between retrieval, QA, faxing, phone calls for status updates, spreadsheet tracking, and more. This time could be better spent on higher-value tasks that directly support patient care.
In a recent athenahealth survey, 75% of orthopedists and other specialists reported spending substantial time on non-reimbursable administrative work, and 58% reported feeling overwhelmed weekly.
These aren’t signs of failure; they’re indicators that your orthopedic network’s growth has outpaced your current system.
What Makes a Record Release Solution Scalable for Orthopedic Networks?
True scalability means your system continues to perform efficiently as you add locations, increase volume, or face new compliance demands. The ONC/ASTP workflow automation report identifies the following characteristics for suitable tasks:
Tasks within workflows suitable for automation typically include these characteristics:
• Involve manual data entry
• Occur with high frequency and/or repetition
• Use clearly defined independent and dependent variables for modeling
• Have clear roles and responsibilities
