Congratulations to Ridgeplex Internal Medicine for being selected as a GRIPA Connect Office in the Spotlight. This column features GRIPA Connect Clinical Integration offices who are finding the GRIPA Connect Web Portal useful for patient care.

Dr. Linda Rice and her staff use the GRIPA Connect Portal in their day to day activities. “I use it daily to look up lab results, to ePrescribe, and to access CCS at RGH”, Linda Rice, MD.

The portal provides real time information. The data sources include the Rochester General Health System (RGHS) labs, Admission, Discharge, and Transfer information, ACM labs, Rochester Radiology Outpatient Reports, and Elizabeth Wende Breast Clinic (EWBC) reports. “I can more quickly access lab data than by searching for hard copies that haven’t been filed yet”, Linda Rice, MD

The group finds the user group meetings and the access to GRIPA support staff to be extremely helpful. “The more you use it, the easier it becomes”, Linda Rice, MD.
