LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - May 19, 2008) - MyMedicalRecords.com, Inc. ("MMR"), a
leading provider of web-based Personal Health Records ("PHRs"), announced
today that it is available to Google Health users as an integrated service.
The announcement is in conjunction with today's public launch of Google
Health.
"This has been a collaborative effort working with Google," said Robert H.
Lorsch, CEO of MyMedicalRecords.com. "We believe that Google Health in
conjunction with the many features of MyMedicalRecords.com will enable
healthcare providers and patients to share vital information while
eliminating duplicate testing which ultimately will help improve care, save
lives and reduce medical costs."
As an integrated service on the Google Health platform,
MyMedicalRecords.com enables Google Health users to transfer information
from their Google Health account into MyMedicalRecords.com and back and
forth again. MyMedicalRecords.com also provides users with their own
personal fax number where doctors can fax charts, test results, lab
reports, and other medical records directly into their account and enables
users to make their medical records available to doctors in case of an
emergency.
"We are proud to have the opportunity to be part of the Google Health
launch and look forward to individuals using MyMedicalRecords.com in
conjunction with the features and benefits of Google Health," Lorsch added.
As an integrated service, MyMedicalRecords.com will enable a Google Health
user full access and display of their actual medical records that are faxed
or uploaded into their MMR account. MyMedicalRecords.com is a highly
secure, easy-to-use, comprehensive PHR that uses proprietary,
patent-pending technology to give patients and healthcare providers the
ability to upload images, such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, fax medical
records and other important documents, and to have doctors' notes dictated
into their PHR account. The information is then accessible from any
Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world with no special hardware
or software requirements.
A separate Emergency Login feature enables an emergency medical provider to
have read-only access to potentially life-saving information pre-selected
by the user in the event of a medical emergency. Using the
MyMedicalRecords.com service, Google Health users can alert emergency room
doctors who see their MyMedicalRecords.com wallet card to gain immediate
on-line access to the medical records in their account.
The security platform that underlies MyMedicalRecords.com is the same as
that used to handle transactions for many of the nation's major financial
institutions and Fortune 1000 companies. Additionally, MMR offers users
complete privacy because records are faxed or uploaded directly into their
own personal account, without anyone other than the user and his or her
provider handling information in the MyMedicalRecords.com system. Users
have complete control over how they manage their information and what
Emergency information is seen without any third-party intervention.
