The information release (ROI) division or division is found in almost every hospital. In the United States, HIPAA and State guidelines strongly guide patient information rules and regulations. The Department of ROI performs tasks such as obtaining patient consent, certifying medical records, and deciding what information can be released.
The ROI department is often found in the health information management service department (HIMS) in the hospital. The supervision of the HIMS department is usually overseen by a director. The director of health information may have credentials such as RHIT (registered health information technician) or RHIA (registered health information administrator).
Special federal regulations protect the release of information in the areas of mental health, drug treatment, and alcohol care. Records of this nature often require patient consent or a court order for their release. ROI staff should have strong acumen for the patient's legal rights.
