The MMR Pro service is designed to help doctors, particularly sole practitioners and small group practices, better manage their paper records by scanning those records to a secure Web-based portal at www.mymedicalrecordsmd.com, where they are viewable by the doctor 24/7 from any Internet-connected computer. Scanned records are automatically placed in designated folders that correspond with the tabs in a patient chart. The doctor also is able to share records with his patients through a special portal at www.mmrpatientview.com, thus creating a communications link between doctor and patient.
"MMR received validation of its Personal Health Record from leading hospital IT executives and the consulting community, citing MMR's Personal Health Record as 'the best full-featured PHR at the show,'" said Gene Barduson, MMR Healthcare Market Strategist. "Based on the reaction at the show we believe that MMR's PHR could be offered to as many as three million patients by the end of 2010 through EMR system suppliers."
"We are proud of our integrated medical record storage and Personal Health Record system that helps doctors deal with the ever-increasing flow of paper records in their practice while affording them a seamless way to provide the information to patients who can then play a more active role in their own care," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc. "With all of the attention on Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), it is important to remember that the vast majority of doctors still run their practices with paper records. MMR Pro is designed for doctors who want a cost-effective solution to digitize those paper records on a patient forward basis."
KEY FEATURES OF MMR PRO
MMR Pro allows multiple ways for doctors to organize and manage paper-based records. Records can be digitized by scanning the records into the system using bar codes that automatically index the record by doctor, patient, date of service and document type. Each practice receives a discrete ID, which is a 10-digit telephone number that can be used to also fax information to the practice.
MMR Pro offers doctors the ease, security and privacy of being able to fax records to other providers directly from the system as well. Before documents are filed, doctors review patient records in a special message center. So in essence, MMR Pro greatly reduces the handling of paper in a doctor's office, which can streamline workflow and lead to better management and patient information.
Beyond the ability to store and manage paper-based records, the MMR Pro system enables the physician practice to easily upload and manage image-based files and also has a free-text search capability.
Patient Management Features
The product offers numerous features that can assist doctors, and staff, in handling patient flow and being able to provide better patient care.
-- Appointment Scheduling: Patient appointments can be scheduled and
changed using MMR Pro's scheduling module. The system will
automatically send appointment reminders to the patient via e-mail,
telephone or fax at the times designated by the patient.
-- Drug Reference Tool: A complete drug reference and drug interaction
tool, licensed from Multum/Cerner (NYSE: CERN), gives doctors a way to
easily check for any contraindications between medications a patient is
taking.
-- E-Prescribing: E-prescribing modules will enable doctors to use the
latest in technologies to enter the E-Prescribe revolution with MMR Pro
at no additional cost.
Doctors Can Share Records with their Patients
With the increasing trend towards patient empowerment and more patient involvement in care management, MMR Pro creates a meaningful bridge and communications link between doctor and patient by giving patients immediate access to those records approved and reviewed by a doctor through a secure, Web-based portal. This portal, www.mmrpatientview.com, is available to the patient at no cost. Whenever a record is placed in a patient folder using MMR Pro, the patient receives a notification that it is available for them to view. Patients using MMRPatientView have view-only access to their records with an option to upgrade to a full-featured MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record. When patients upgrade providers receive a portion of the revenue from the upgraded accounts.
Security
MMR recognizes that the confidentiality of patients is of supreme importance and supports this with a million dollar privacy insurance guarantee to protect doctors and patients from loss or damage caused by an error in the system that allows someone to access their information. The MMR Pro architecture ensures the security of information through storage on redundant servers across two Tier IV data centers, separated by more than one hundred miles. In addition, the MMR Pro system uses Secure FTP (File Transmission Protocol) to move scanned data or data from its telephony platform to its servers. All transmissions into and out of the site itself are encrypted with 256-bit Secure Socket Layer technology or secure FTP. The site is also scanned daily by a third-party security service for any weaknesses and vulnerabilities to potential hackers. Any files that are uploaded into a MMR Pro account are scanned for viruses before they reach the application.
MMR personnel do not have any access to any data stored in MMR Pro. Customer care associates will be able to answer technical questions regarding system operation, but are not able to see the contents of any patient data.
