It is also very common to audit for this. Compliance is convinced that all medical records requests must go through the records access policy. Of course the exception is patient portals.

I believe they have added 15 new customers in the last year. With Soarian appealing to larger facilities (yes, I do know they have smaller hospitals too), and a public persception that its development could only be recorded in stop-action photography, MS4 may be positioned as possible Meditech relief for their diminishing customer base of small to mid-size providers. On a side note, I have been attending the MS4 User Conferences for 8 years now, and I am thoroughly impressed with not only with MS4's ease of use, but in the cohesiveness of their user community. This group is really more like a Meditech group in their devotion to the product. My contacts in the MS4 customer base say that MS4 is being enhanced and sucessfully sold to new customers.
