LOS ANGELES, CA?(Marketwire ? Aug 6, 2012) ? MMRGlobal, Inc. (
The Companys patents also cover the transmission of medical records faxed to a Personal Health Record through most inbound fax services including those found in mobile applications for Android and iPhones and systems such as those found in Visual Voice Mail where fax is also received.?In addition, the MMR platform features special patient privacy controls which provide paramedics and early responders access to permission-based patient files in an emergency through a separate emergency access portal. The newest patent also provides for patients to receive voice communications messages from healthcare providers through their PHR account.
Bob Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal, said, Hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent globally to find ways to efficiently connect healthcare providers and patients. The one word everyone forgets is standardization.?In the 1980s we saw the breakup of AT&T as part of a plan to standardize telecommunications and create a competitive market for the then Bell Operating Companies.?In 2012, it still has not happened and the Regional Bell Operating Companies are all but gone.?In the world of health IT, the only piece of standard equipment found in any hospital or doctors office is the fax.?Even the survey points out that only one out of three physicians use a laptop, 20% use smartphones and 12% use iPads in their practices while all continue to use some form of fax.?It was that way when we founded MMR and applied for our patents and its still that way today.?Fax technologies now integrate into the most advanced electronic medical records systems because that is the standard the majority of physicians still want to use.?
The Company already has three patents issued in the United States for its Method and System for Providing Online Medical Records and Method and System for Providing Online Records, and others issued in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Mexico. The Companys health IT portfolio also has an additional 186 claims in various stages of being issued, pending or applied for in the U.S.?Additionally, MMR has pending applications filed in numerous other countries of commercial interest around the world including Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, South Korea, and European nations. The Company also owns 40% of a Joint Venture with Unis-Tonghe Technology (Zhengzhou) Co., Ltd. in China called the Unis Tonghe MMR International Health Management Service Co., Ltd.
The healthcare industry has already started taking note of MMRGlobals Intellectual Property. ?4medica?, provider of the industrys leading cloud based clinical integration platform and solutions for healthcare professionals, is licensing and selling the Companys version of MMR fax services into its Integrated Electronic Health Record (4medica iEHR?) for secure, HIPAA-compliant inbound/outbound faxing on the 4medica EHR platform.?Recognizing the importance of fax in healthcare, Oleg Bess, M.D., 4medica CEO, said, The move to electronic medical records is inevitable, but faxing remains an important form of communication and patient data transfer.
MMRGlobals patented PHR and professional health IT services do not resemble what most people perceive as traditional fax. The Companys software systems seamlessly connect hospitals and physicians with patients.?The systems use encrypted digitized file formats over ordinary telephone and wireless networks which safely transmit medical records and other important documents from wherever they are to wherever they need to be.?When a document is received by either the MyMedicalRecords PHR or MMRPro document management and imaging system, multiple alerts are immediately sent to users, which can include family members, physicians and office administrators, alerting them to the information. This notification feature helps ensure that important information by voice or fax gets securely delivered to where it needs to go when it needs to get there.
Building on its patented telecommunications infrastructure, the Companys health IT patent portfolio includes claims directed at the filing, management, navigation and accessing of Personal Health Records including dental records, childrens health records, and veterinary health records for pets as well as access to potentially lifesaving data in a disaster or other emergency. They also include claims surrounding telemedicine and the channel for selling Personal Health Records in retail stores as well as claims that help ensure the privacy of a patients most personal and confidential health records and other important documents. The Companys intellectual property portfolio of Personal Health Record patents issued and others pending and applied for are also being utilized in the Companys MMRPro professional document management and imaging systems and MyEsafeDepositBox (www.myesafevideos.com) products and services.
