KIS Medical Records

KIS Medical Records
KARE INFORMATION SERVICES has developed a new and exciting medical resource, a service created to provide medical records upon request. Through this extremely effective service, KIS MEDICAL RECORDS can provide the single most important source of information, your medical history, 24 hours a day, any place a member needs. Developed by an emergency room physician, who recognized the need to empower the patient to provide their life-saving, and often critically important medical information, regardless of their status. Martin H. Orens M.D., F.A.C.E.P., developed KIS Medical Records to help better serve the patient. This important medical resource, the medical record, is available upon request 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Through digitalization, this lifesaving information can be delivered anywhere in the world. Upon request via a simple phone call, e-mail, or fax, records can be available in a matter of minutes. Only your request is required to obtain all this valuable information.

Three key features of KIS MEDICAL RECORDS:
1. Economic Impact:

KIS Medical Records provide significant cost containment services.

KIS Medical Records informs the doctor of recently completed procedures and tests, preventing their unnecessary repetition.

Prevention of expensive prescriptions, which are often unnecessary or repetitious.

Early involvement by the Hospitalist can prevent the all too often "C -Y -A" gamut of testing by doctors who may have never seen the patient before.

Having the patient's extensive medical records in hand, the on-call physician or Hospitalist can return the patient to an in-plan facility safely and sooner.

Physicians treating the non-English speaking patients can provide a cost efficient treatment plan, because of the dictated medical records in hand.

"The more information a physician has, the less likely that costly malpractice litigation will occur."

Completely H.I.P.P.A. compliant.

KARE INFORMATION SERVICES (KIS) can offer all this and more. The savings can be in the thousands per patient / member.

KIS Medical Records may just be the best medical insurance anyone can have.

2. Healthcare providers benefits:

Significant financial savings because the treating doctor has the information he needs to make informed specific medical decisions, ordering only the test he needs.

Providing the physician with up-to-date results, thus preventing the need to repeat these extremely expensive tests and procedures.

The Hospitalist or on-call physician, who has likely never seen the patient before, can now while still at home, have before him the patient's entire medical record, their recent ECG’s, tests and procedures results, and therefore make informed decisions.

Both the treating physician and the on-call doctor can simultaneously work together to make informed and cost controlled medical decisions regarding the patient's care.

From home or office, the Hospitalist can intercede long before expensive workups are ordered or completed.

The on-call doctor can assist the treating physician in the early care of the patient, making more knowledgeable decisions regarding testing, admission, and stability for transfer.

KIS reduces the need for unnecessary, but all too often, the battery of tests and procedures commonly ordered today.

3. Patient health care:

Reducing the cost of health care, because the treating physician has the information needed from a source they can trust.

Move records between offices or to specialty referrals upon request.

A 24 hour-a-day live operator to provide assistance as needed.

Complete physician dictated medical transcripts and hospital records.

Pre-completed medical registration forms, and current insurance information.

An up-to-date list of all medications, dangerous allergies, and adverse drug reactions.

Results of recent medical tests, and surgical procedures.

Emergency notification of family as to current location, current condition, and a telephone number to speak to the patient, or their doctor.

The prevention of unnecessary and often uncomfortable tests or procedures, as well as, the possible prevention of unnecessary hospital admissions.

Reduced risk of medical errors, medication errors or drug - drug interactions, and medical record mistakes.

Identification of missing persons with KIS identification card or bracelet.

Language will no longer be a barrier, whether on business or vacation. The treating physician has a complete patient medical profile.

With this service the member is happier, and more likely to remain with their current insurance provider.

Members with significant medical problems can now travel and take vacations knowing the records will be available to them wherever they should need.

KIS Medical Records allows for cost and time saving Second Medical Opinions.

Maximizes the doctor-patient relationship and interaction time.
