Welcoming new data sources ! Rochester RHIO would like to welcome all of our new Data Sources ! Over the past few months, several new organizations have joined our community health information exchange, supporting better information for better patient care.

Medical Director's Corner: Just so YOU know... I'd like to bring your attention to a national movement about Open Notes whereby a patient can read a doctor's notes through their Patient Portal. Also, I am very pleased to report that at least 49 RHIO participant organizations have already received grant monies through the DEIP program over the last several months.  Also, there is still time to apply to the DEIP program through Rochester RHIO!
