How does the DC RHIO help make your care better?

  • In emergencies: If you go to the emergency room and can’t remember what medicines you are taking, the doctor can get that information immediately from the DC RHIO. This will help the doctor make better decisions about your treatment.
  • If you are pregnant: If you have to go to the hospital, the doctors and nurses at the hospital will be able to see a record of your pregnancy care. They will be able to make safer decisions about how to take care of you and your baby.
  • Avoid taking lab tests more than one time: You just had lab tests at your doctor’s office or health center. If you are admitted to the hospital, you may not have to take those tests again. The hospital can get your test results from the DC RHIO.
