Venice Regional Bayfront Health

What Venice Regional Bayfront Health does

Venice Regional Bayfront Health operated as a regional hospital in Venice, Florida, under Community Health Systems, Inc. and was subsequently rebranded to Shorepoint Health Venice. The facility is now permanently closed, with CHSPSC, LLC (a Tennessee-based professional services entity within the CHS corporate structure) retaining custodial responsibility for legacy patient medical records. The entity's only active function is facilitating records requests from former patients, healthcare providers, and third parties such as legal professionals, government agencies, and insurance companies.

The operational product is a medical records request portal built on Datavant's infrastructure. Patients and providers submit requests via the Swellbox web-based wizard (swellbox.com), third-party requesters use Datavant's SmartRequest platform (with assigned site IDs), and paper-based submissions are accepted via bilingual PDF authorization forms submitted by email or fax. RemoteROI services at Datavant handle the actual fulfillment workflow. The offering is functionally a compliance-driven, regulated service rather than a commercial product; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is constrained by HIPAA reasonable-cost and applicable state law.

There is no active revenue model, no GTM motion, and no headcount associated with this entity. Its existence is a regulatory and operational artifact of the hospital's closure, and the only customer need it addresses is post-closure access to historical medical records for continuity of care, legal proceedings, insurance claims, and government inquiries.
