MMR Information Systems Hosts Open House for Physicians With Kodak in Attendance November 4-5 at Fall Health IT Summit in Beverly Hills
Doctors May Qualify for Stimulus Funds Under Obama HITECH Act
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - October 22, 2009) - MMR Information Systems,
Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) announced today that it will host an Open House,
joined by representatives from Kodak Corporation, for physicians at the Fall Health IT Summit on
November 4-5, in Beverly Hills. The Open House will give local area
physicians and guests of the conference hands-on demonstrations of the
Company's new MMRPro
product. Kodak Corporation is supplying the Kodak 520 Scan Station and
Capture Pro software as part of the bundled MMRPro solution.
MMRPro provides doctors with a cost-efficient solution for digitizing
patient records and storing them in a secure, Web-based portal. The
service also allows patients to view their records through a separate
secure portal called MMRPatientView. Patients are able to upgrade their
patient view to a full MyMedicalRecords PHR account,
which generates revenues to liquidate the cost of the MMRPro solution to
health care professionals. Because MMRPro also is integrated with an
e-Prescribe module (H2H) and integrates with a real time deployment of a
PHR, it potentially allows doctors to qualify for stimulus funds under the
HITECH Act that was signed into law by President Obama on February 17,
2009.
"Automated physician entry of prescriptions was identified as one area that
would be required for stimulus funds," noted Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and
CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc. "We believe our integrated
e-Prescribe gives the many doctors who do not yet have an EMR to take a
meaningful step to be eligible to receive monies from the HITECH Act.
Having executives from Kodak joining MMR at the Health IT Summit to
showcase our MMR Professional product, reflects the level of interest Kodak
has in the commercial release of MMRPro."
