Release of Information (ROI) in healthcare refers to the process by which patient health information is disclosed to authorized individuals or entities. This process ensures that sensitive health data is shared securely and in compliance with legal and regulatory standards. ROI can occur for various reasons, such as continuity of care, billing purposes, legal requests, or patient transfers.
