Healthcare IT News just published an interview with Mark Haas, associate director of health information services at Mass General Hospital, one of the premier hospitals in the world. Mark discusses how MGH implemented Biscom Delivery Server to more than double the number of release of information (ROI) requests they can handle with the same staffing. MGH is now handling 52,000 releases per year with the help of BDS.
Another interesting statistic – MGH has reduced their costs for providing these medical records to insurance companies, law firms, and others who request them from $16.08/request down to $5.61 – a 65% savings. MGH also benefits by using BDS to comply with meaningful use objectives.
