Healthcare Empowerment through Technology









SunCoast RHIO is owned and operated by SunCoast RHIO, Inc.  A Florida Corporation.
The SunCoast RHIO is a Regional Health Information Organization. (see "What is a RHIO?")

This RHIO offers services to the Florida counties of the South West Region.  These include Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, DeSoto, Hardee, Glades, Hendry, Highlands, Okeechobee, Lee, and Collier.

We are a community service organization that connects Health Providers with Consumers.  Providers are broadly defined and include Hospitals, Clinics, Doctors, Private Practices, Social Service Agencies, Government, and non MD practitioners.  We also work closely with academic institutions, research organizations, and quality, safety, and satisfaction monitoring firms and agencies.

The RHIO provides information, products, and services including but not limited to Electronic Health Records, Personal Health Records, Health Information Exchanges, insurance options, and various Health Care financial services to both providers (Revenue Cycle) and consumers (Health Savings Accounts).  Protecting Privacy and confidentiality is a high priority.

The RHIO currently links to two major collaborative sites:
www.chip4health.org , Sarasota County's Community Health Improvement Partnership and www.suncoasthealth.org, a Health Information Exchange for our region.

Please see our Partner tab for information about services offered through our collaborative arrangements with other organizations.

The SunCoast RHIO is a proud member of the Florida Association of RHIO's (FAR) and an interstate collaborator with non Florida RHIO's and HIE's (Health Information Exchanges) across the US. 

We share a common philosophy with The Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and adhere to the State's vision as outlined over the years.  Information can be found at AHCA's website under FHIN.
