NYU Langone Medical Center needed a release of information (ROI) service that would streamline its workflow, ensure regulatory compliance and improve its bottom line. IOD was able to address these needs and others through its technology solution. Additionally, by customizing services that more efficiently divide the ROI tasks between NYU staff and IOD staff, NYU has more time to focus on its primary goal, patient care.
According to Gabriela Grygus, MBA, RHIA, Senior Director, Health Information Management at NYU Langone Medical Center, "Since partnering with IOD, we have observed a decrease in request turnaround time as well as an increase in overall productivity. We are very pleased with the ease of this transition."
Tony Farley, IOD's Regional Vice President, adds, "Working in tandem with existing HIM staff, we've been able to more efficiently process ROI for NYU. We look forward to continuing our partnership with NYU and providing ROI service that is focused on technology, security and efficiency."
