How it works

1

Enter document type and urgency

The kind of document and how quickly it's needed set the baseline complexity.

2

Add volume and review requirements

Document count, physician review, third-party release, and record age each add processing complexity.

3

Get a complexity score and turnaround estimate

A weighted 0-100 score maps to an estimated turnaround window, plus next steps for staff.

Frequently asked questions

Does this tool release or send any documents?

No. This tool only estimates administrative complexity and turnaround for a request. Actual document release still goes through your organization's records and consent process.

How accurate is the turnaround estimate?

It's a planning estimate based on typical complexity drivers, not a guarantee. Actual turnaround depends on staffing, physician availability, and how archived your older records are.

Does a physician review requirement always increase turnaround?

Generally yes — physician sign-off adds a scheduling dependency, so the score weights it accordingly. Practices with dedicated review windows may still turn these around faster.

Can this replace a patient portal document request feature?

This tool complements rather than replaces a portal. It's meant to help staff triage and estimate complexity before or alongside intake through a portal or front desk.
