Release of Information department
- Release of Information department
Release of Information (ROI) is a department or division that is found in virtually every hospital. In the United States, HIPAA and State guidelines strongly direct the rules and regulations of patient information. ROI performs such tasks as obtaining patient consent, certifying medical records, and deciding what information can be released.
Release of Information is often found within the Health Information Management Services (HIMS) department of a hospital. The oversight of the HIMS department is usually overseen by a Director. The Director of Health Information may have credentials such as an RHIT (Registered Health Information Technician) or an RHIA (Registered Health Information Administrator).
Special federal regualtions protect the release of information in the areas of Mental Health, Drug Treatment, and Alcohol Treatment. Records of this nature often require either a patient's consent or a court order for their release. ROI staff must possess a strong acumen for the legal rights of the patient.
