Rochester RHIO and Jewish Senior Life partner to share data and build a better patient record

More than half of Americans will require long-term care in their lifetime—and while an aging population turns to retirement communities and skilled nursing facilities, many of these individuals will continue to receive care from multiple community providers and hospitals. 

Recognizing the benefit to building a complete patient record, Jewish Senior Life, a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) that offers all levels of care from independent living to skilled nursing, has become the first senior living facility to send clinical care data to Rochester RHIO. 

System change: New restrictions for Break The Glass access

Rochester RHIO is making system modifications to RHIO Explore by revising user roles to minimize Break the Glass (BTG) access.

Effective November 30, 2018, only authorized users who work in an Emergency Room, Urgent Care, or with Emergency Transportation, as well as those with an NPI, will have Break the Glass access in RHIO Explore. Remember: All Break the Glass actions are audited by Rochester RHIO to ensure compliance and patient privacy.

Thank you so much for taking part in our 2018 Participant Survey!

Your opinion matters at Rochester RHIO. Thank you so much for participating in our 2018 Participant Satisfaction Survey! The survey is now closed.

This year, we're also celebrating Foodlink's 40th anniversary, and we're donating $1 to Foodlink for each completed survey, up to $1,000. After extending the deadline, we had just over 1,000 authorized users complete our survey, which means $1,000 for Foodlink! At Rochester RHIO, we believe and support Foodlink's mission "to leverage the power of food to end hunger and build healthier communities."

Now, it's time to comb through the data and your responses. We expect results to be released in the first quarter of 2019. Thank you so much for your feedback, and also for helping us celebrate Foodlink's 40th anniversary!
