Offering personalized Prepaid Personal Health Record cards for physicians and hospitals, MMRGlobal has announced patented health IT products and services including its MyMedicalRecords PHR (Personal Health Record) access card.
Healthcare professionals can now hand out a Personal Health Record access card which gives their patients the ability to create and manage a comprehensive online Personal Health Record, instead of leaving the doctor's office with an appointment reminder card.
Along with the ability to send records by outbound fax, prescription drug database and the ability to generate appointment and prescription reminders, the system also includes a document management system, a MyEsafeDepositBox, the company stated in a press release.
“Healthcare professionals are not known for their marketing yet marketing is of vital importance to any healthcare organization. Our concept converts a doctor's business card to a potentially lifesaving PHR that educates users and generates revenue through our built-in Stimulus Program while reducing costs of responding to patient requests for medical records,” said Robert H. Lorsch, chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal. “We also plan on making this program available to drug companies, labs and other healthcare organizations marketing to doctors.”
Allowing hospitals and medical offices can use them as a cost-effective incentive to patients and outpatients to better manage their health and reinforce where they receive their care, the cards can be custom designed. The prepaid PHR card is actually a physician's business card with a purpose.
The cards call attention to the importance of having a Personal Health Record which can improve care, reduce costs and even make the difference in saving a patient's life, by placing access to a full-featured PHR at the point of care.
Recently, the company received another patent. United States Patent No. 8,121,855 entitled “Method and System for Providing Online Medical Records” further expands the protection for the company's technology related to online Personal Health Records and document imaging and filing solutions.
The patented methods are embodied by the company's solutions, including the storage, management of, and emergency access to health records and other important documents. This is the third in a series of patents recently announced by the company.
