RHIO Patient Consent Training:
An Essential Step to Quality Care
Patients benefit when doctors have their complete medical history. If your organization is a member of the RHIO, your providers can access patients’ electronic health records from other healthcare professionals. Remember to obtain consent so that your patients can receive quality, coordinated care.
BPHC developed these training tools for staff members responsible for collecting RHIO patient consent. They include:
• RHIO Patient Consent Training Video
• Training PowerPoint
• Tip Sheet (English/Spanish)
These training materials focus on the benefits of and process for obtaining consent to access patients’ medical information from the RHIO, such as:
• General information about the RHIO and how health information exchanges work
• Review of consent forms and consent choices
• Talking point for engaging patients in giving consent
