Access Unify® | Health now provides secure, single-view access to both electronic and physical records while giving CIOs a system of record to ensure continuity of care and compliance
Solution to be showcased at Access Booth 3010 at Becker’s 11th Annual Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago from September 14-17, 2026
PEABODY, Mass., Sept. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Access, a leading global and integrated information management solutions provider, today launched an update to Access Unify® | Health, its award-winning records archiving platform. Access Unify® | Health is a breakthrough innovation that now provides clinicians with a patient's complete medical history from both retired/legacy EHRs and previously physical files within a single, chronological view at the point of care. The solution will be showcased in Access Booth 3010 at Becker’s 11th Annual Health IT + Digital Health + RCM Conference in Chicago from September 14-17, 2026.
For CIOs, Access Unify® | Health is designed to solve a challenge that sits squarely at the intersection of clinical quality and IT risk. Since a patient's full medical history rarely lives in one system, critical patient history can remain effectively invisible at the point of care—buried in retired EHRs, acquired or divested facilities, and physical files.
Access helps healthcare organizations bring indexed electronic and physical legacy records into a consolidated experience, making information such as prior procedures, historical diagnoses, legacy imaging, consent documentation and physician notes appear together automatically within a patient’s chart.
"I haven’t come across another vendor that brings electronic and physical records together in a single solution for retention, retrieval and governance,” said Access customer Kim Tran, Director of Business Systems at Pain Specialists of America. “That capability stood out to us and made the decision to work with Access easy."
Access Unify® | Health helps clinicians make more informed decisions and reduces the manual effort and risk that Health Information Management (HIM) teams face when responding to release-of-information requests, retention obligations and disposition activities. The transformative innovation combines electronic and physical legacy records into a single, embedded, point-of-care experience.
“Based on customer feedback, we know that healthcare organizations want patients’ full medical history made available for clinicians the moment they need it - without adding risk or another system to their environment,” said Tony Skarupa, CEO at Access. “Access Unify® | Health lives directly inside the existing EHR; it's smart about what it digitizes, and it enables healthcare IT teams to consolidate down from multiple systems of record to just one platform – a time, care and cost resources win-win.”
Access customer Kathy Jasa, HIM/Patient Accounting Manager at Pender Community Health commented, “We had years of paper records along with electronic records from our legacy systems. Access offered a smart combination—bringing our physical and digital records together in Access Unify® | Health and making them accessible through a direct link in Meditech. I can’t wait until [our implementation is] complete; our providers are going to love it.”
Simple. Smart. Complete.
Access Unify® | Health is built around three principles that matter most to CIOs and health IT leaders who own the EHR challenge:
Simple — One embedded experience inside the EHR that clinicians already use, vendor-neutral archiving that meets decades-long retention rules, and predictable, transparent economics —one line-item invoice and pricing that does not increase year over year.
- For organizations on Epic, Access Unify® | Health is embedded natively: clinicians and HIM staff launch it directly from the patient's chart via a single button, are authenticated automatically, and land straight on that patient's consolidated medical record grid.
Smart — AI-enabled auto-indexing solution refined across hundreds of source systems over two decades maps records to a canonical, FHIR-aligned model and lets organizations digitize and deliver only the specific records they need, on demand.
Complete — Access Unify® | Health manages all record types together across the full information lifecycle, enabling continuity of care and compliance to draw from the same trusted source.
"As healthcare organizations navigate EHR transitions and system consolidations, clinicians frequently struggle to access critical historical patient data without disrupting their daily workflow,” said Benjamin Cassity, Director of Research and Strategy, VBC at KLAS. “Provider feedback consistently highlights that bridging the gap between siloed legacy records and the primary point of care is essential to reducing clinician cognitive burden and supporting true continuity of care."
