DSS Secures Patent for Automatic Generation of Patient Presence for Patient Portals

Patent Protects DSS Technology that Transmits Patient Data to a Health Record Management System

Document Storage Systems, Inc. (DSS), a leading provider of health information technology (HIT) solutions for federal, private and public healthcare organizations, today announced the notice of allowance was granted to by the U.S. Patent Office for U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 14/313,766 entitled AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF PATIENT PRESENCE FOR PATIENT PORTALS.

With the management of electronic healthcare records sweeping the industry, the patent is directed to health record management systems, and how users and healthcare providers can access and interact with these systems. 

This patent protects the DSS technology that allows patients, healthcare providers and facilities to transmit patient health related data to a health record management system in a secure and efficient manner. 

The patented system also allows for any healthcare entity to securely submit health related data for any patient and be automatically registered with the system. Therefore, patients are no longer required to access multiple different health record management systems due to their healthcare providers being registered with different systems.

“Enhanced health data interoperability is critical for providing the best quality of care possible for patients,” said Mark Byers, president and CEO of DSS. “This patent reinforces DSS’ legacy of being a trusted provider of the most innovative health technology solutions.”

DSS Incorporated has other patents pending.
