WOMBA will utilize Veradigm’s eChart Courier to provide medical
chart records to attorneys in an automated, secure and HIPAA
compliant manner, pursuant to authorization from patients who are
clients. This solution streamlines a time consuming and resource
intensive process for attorneys, their clients and, healthcare
providers.
Legal actions such as mass tort, class action, product
liability, asbestos, medical device, and environmental disaster
claims often require attorneys to retrieve thousands of medical
records from multiple jurisdictions. The high-volume nature of this
work requires law firms to allocate significant resources to either
retain full-time staff to retrieve medical records or to outsource
the function to service providers who manually retrieve the records
over several weeks. These records must then be organized for review
by attorneys and retained medical experts.
Veradigm eChart Courier, alongside WOMBA’s decades of experience
in the industry improves efficiency and streamlines this process by
delivering the clinical data needed for these legal actions
electronically. The service not only benefits law firms but also
healthcare providers who are regularly inconvenienced by record
retrievers hired to manually pull the needed data from medical
charts.
“Working with Veradigm to leverage their eChart Courier solution
aligns with our vision of providing a seamless secure exchange of
medical records using advanced technology,” according to Eli Rowe,
CEO of WOMBA. “With electronic access to Veradigm’s national
network of patient records, we can expedite data retrieval
cost-effectively and save time for our law firm clientele.”
This agreement is a milestone for Veradigm as it continues to
grow outside of healthcare, now into the legal sector. “This is an
example of how Veradigm is leading the way to deliver positive
change in the healthcare ecosystem and beyond by increasing
efficiency, thereby simplifying healthcare,” said Tom Langan, CEO
of Veradigm. “By expanding our reach outside of the more
traditional healthcare sector, we are able to leverage our
solutions in new and innovative ways to positively impact the
healthcare industry.”
