Thank you Bob Lorsch for addressing all the business going on! I especially like China being on board now with active MMRF products embedded. I really liked your dating pr which showed you were trying to reach others who know nothing about MMRF....very clever and well taken by me and a few others but not realized by many!...Again...Good job Bob...Sid (Tiffer)
I would prefer that MMRF never put out a PR and just let the quarterly financials do the talking...unless of course the PR is a legitimate contract with check or realistic revenue in hand!...unrealistic forecasts and values placed on dubious assets does not cut it!!..Only revenues are "KING"...Tif
The "Herd Mentality" seems to be in full force today and looking for any reason like the dating PR and others to blame for the fall of the pps! I see a pink sheet company trying to make it and a staff that is working very hard as I type this post to put viable contracts together. I believe that MMRF is going to do very well this year and future disclosures from them is going to bear this out! So I will keep the faith on MMRF's staff working their butts off and not follow the herd mentality!...I base these thoughts on what is going on at MMRF that has not been disclosed yet to the public and yes....I bought more stock today and very happy to get those 100,000 shares at this low price...As $$ permit then I hope to achieve my goal of owning 2 million shares...almost there!!...Tif
The couple met online, in a chat room, talking about investments in healthcare, which led to Tom telling her about his investment in MMR . She began to follow the stock and invest in the Company!.........BL just piqued the interest of readers of that PR to check out mmrf stock....good play in my opinion...."she liked it and invested in it"..gots to cover all the bases in advertising ...

Re: Threeflight post# 42969 Post # of 44502
and lets not forget AARP where millions of grandparents not interested in a PHR would buy for Graduations, Birthdays, etc. (The cost of AARP ads prohibits MMRF from buying ads and I can see why. BL has limited funds and can not swing it...ungodly thousands of dollars for ad...AARP mentioned many times on this board but never going to happen unless MMRF gets an influx of cash. AARP would probably endorse one of the big boys who would PAY for that endorsement while MMRF has no deep pockets for such a ploy)
Thank you 3F...I was particularly impressed with the pictures of BL presenting to many prospective customers at the table where they were all seated and BL standing and selling!....This bodes well, I feel, that BL had so many lisening and interested in MMRF's products!...Future contracts will hopefully reward BL and the entire MMRF staff for all their efforts...(and us)...Tif
I sure hope that card has some literature on it pointing out the unlimited fax feature that this PHR provides...Big selling point for business people who might happen to be looking at that card in outlets!...also the 1 million dollar ins. against hacking!...2 very important points that should be on that card!...JMO...Tif
The bigger step in my opinion is signed, sealed and delivered contracts with the major retail drug store giants which entail thousands of drug stores! Bob Lorsch would be my best pick to make this happen! God knows he and his whole staff are working on those scenarios....Going to be a very good year with these new (hopefully) outlets of the PHR!..Until contracts are signed then the pps will stay about the same....My hopes are high because of the hardworking MMRF organization....Thank you BL for giving us something possible to hope for...CONTRACTS!!.....JMO....Tif
If USTGlobal&MMRF can give away these prepaid PHR cards at HIMSS then why haven't they put together a plan to go retail in any of the hugh retail drug store chains?...What is the delay if they already are handing them out? My guess is they have not been able to put together an attractive enough package dollar wise for any drug chain to want to start hanging them on the "J" hooks in any store! Not worth it for any drug store chain to have in inventory unless it is in line with the mark up of all the other items in the retail drug store! MMRF may need to forget about a hugh initial profit on these cards and accept an initial minimum profit and rely on the future years of subscription renewals! Also perhaps these meetings with Unis-Tongue at HIMSS would generate some response from MMRF for MMRF"s stockholders on the viability of any future revenue stream from China's ongoing electronic health records!...Lot of things are up in the air on what is really going on with these "deals" that do not seem to be generating any signed, sealed, delivered contracts that show revenue stream!..Sure everybody keeps pointing out to have patience, and I say if you have the product then why is it not already in the drug stores??...At the very least, put out something about ongoing negotiations with any of the 13 largest chains which have from 1,000 to 7,000 drug stores apiece!
Just spotted this on the Yahoo board!..interesting.....Tif..............TV spot on Las Vegas ABC CH 13 today 25-Feb-12 01:56 pm Just saw the very last part of a TV spot advertisement in Las Vegas NV at 10:30 AM on 02.25.12 about medical records being kept in one spot. Then she said: "visit My Medical Records.com"

It does seem UST has the manpower and products! It has been only a little over 4 months to get things rolling on the rep organization!...Going to be a "Hot" summer I think...Tif...........The relationship with UST Global gives MMR the opportunity to offer a complete suite of integrated Electronic and Personal Health Records solutions available today," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMRGlobal. "MMR's patented Personal Health Record platform and document management and imaging technologies, when combined with UST's 8,000-person development resources and infrastructure, can bring MMR products and services to physicians, hospitals and payers globally. At the same time, MMR can sell UST's sophisticated electronic health management systems into its professional products and services channel."
Lorsch continued, "When prepaid phone cards were introduced to retail, it revolutionized telecommunications through sales to major mass merchandisers including office superstores, supermarkets, pharmacies and even the United States Postal Service. Now we will begin the same process selling Personal Health Record services at retail. Working with UST and building a manufacturers rep organization in advance of the Consumer Electronics Show can give MMR the ability to be the first to bring Personal Health Records to brand retailers."

You are spot on as usual and when I myself see a PHR card in any drug store then I will also on that same day see a stock that became a 40-50 bagger.....JMO....Sid(tiffer)
Visi and the Austrian connection sounds real good for this year and beyond, as the real money maker for MMRF is the retail sales of the PHR! The UST Global affiliation is one of the HUGH parnerships for those revenues!..Nothing can beat a sales force of the 10's of thousands of consumers selling themselves as they check out those pre-paid PHR cards in the U.S. and eventually Worldwide drug stores..Still hope MMRF puts on a 1 time pay option also for that card like XM radio does with their subscriptions!..It would be a heck of a graduation present for us seniors to buy for our grandchildren and not obligate our kids to pay any premiums...ever!!..XM sells lifetime subscription for around 700 dollars!...JMO....Tif.....................................................MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) (www.mymedicalrecords.com) today announced that it has entered into an agreement with UST Global(R), a leading provider of IT services and solutions for Fortune 500 and Global 1000 enterprises, to offer its unique MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record (PHR) to UST Global's clients and strategic partners including some of the largest healthcare providers, payers and pharmacy retailers in the world. MMR is also providing 1,500 UST employees in the U.S. PHRs (www.mmrvideos.com) under the company's employee benefit program. In addition, the two companies will create a pre-paid Personal Health Record card to be offered for sale at pharmacy retailers and other mass merchandisers starting in the United States.
Sajan Pillai, CEO of UST Global, said, "Addressing the growing IT security concerns of the healthcare industry is at the core of our services development strategy. We are pleased to link our services with MMRGlobal, the leading purveyor of PHRs that works seamlessly with our technology and every other operating system
We all have that list and I do not know why you do not. Its called the "Anticipation List". Hope that link helps you....Tif.

I got a sneaking suspicion that Bob Lorsch is going to surprise us with 10's of thousands of salespersons selling to themselves on a daily basis. The Consumers themselves, in every drug store anywhere!...What a boon that would be for MMRF!...It would be unbelievable what these chain drug stores could do for MMRF's pre-paid PHR..All Bob has to do is make sure he gives the drug store chain enough revenue off initial sale that they will jump at the revenue coming in with MMRF's card...JMO....Tif
Bob Lorsch will surly go after the 13 largest retail drug store companys in the U.S. These 13 retail drug chains have from 1 thousand to 7 thousand drug stores each!...If BL can give a lucrative dollar amount for any of these chains on the initial sale of a pre-paid PHR card then it would sure be worth it on the future cumulative income to MMRF. Heck, it would be worth giving the drug store chain 75% on initial sale. The long run will be MMRF's "Pot of Gold".....JMO.....Tif (Sent to MMRF just for the heck of it, although I am sure I am redundant)
The long term survival of MMRF depends totally on retail users of a PHR and the cumulative income to MMRF as they sign up!..I look at each and every agreement/affiliation in that light. Who is selling the MMR-Pro and the PHR's?....Doctors selling PHR's to the patients has been very slow so far and I sure hope 4Medica gets involved with all their clients and salespersons!...JMO...Tif

Revenues do not magically appear. They need to be generated by a sales force and I do not see any realistic agreement yet on who is selling MMRF's products!...You think 4medica is going to utilize its sales force to make sure folks sign up for a PHR or MMR-PRO?..Unless MMRF provides a lucrative dollar incentive for 4Medica's benefit then it will be up to MMRF to sell the PHR and MMR-PRO. Salespersons are minimal as we all know! Cute to have 4Medica logo on MMRF website but who is selling the products of MMRF? That is the question, and until we see a definitive business agreement utilizing 4Medica's sales force then supposed revenues are just "blowin in the wind"....JMO....Tif
Perhaps...but isn't it nice to be able to read something like 60-40 partnership with Unis-Tonghe and a 50 (yes 50) year agreement? Shows me there is a realistic shot at revenues there versus, working on, embedding, incorporating, tail in, front in, and no agreement of any moneys or sales force mentioned...PR's do not get it...only good solid agreements and better yet contracts!...Revenues will always be kept secret with the MMRF business plans with any of their affiliations! We can only wait for the quarterlys and HOPE!
When I see 4Medica's site touting MMRF products, then I will be a very happy camper, especially if 4Medica's sales persons are involved in selling MMRF's products! MMRF, at this time, has no recognizable sales force that I can say is selling product of any volume that would kill the burn rate! China is still my own personel big hope, as sales force is the dictatorship in China, forcing electronic records! ...... JMO .... Tif
Wrong!...I said nothing about doubting BL. I said revenue stream will not be forthcoming unless we have a signed, sealed and delivered contract with 4Medica on shared revenues!....That has not happened yet, and until it does, then we have zero revenue stream from 4Medica....not just my opinion...just fact!...Tiffer

Print Font: +-LAS VEGAS, NV — HIMSS Annual Conference -- 4medica booth #449 -- In a bold move that recognizes the need to augment its core lab services to help physicians address health reform and other challenges, TriCore Reference Laboratories today announced selecting 4medica to drive lab and patient data integration, interoperability and connectivity. TriCore will offer the 4medica Ambulatory Cloud Integrated Electronic Health Record (4medica iEHR®) to approximately 4,700 physicians practicing medicine in the state of New Mexico, many of whom work in rural areas lacking advanced technology........................................................................................... 4MEDICA HAS BOOTH #449 AND MMRF HAS OF COURSE #2062 If you cannot glean any info then hopefully BL will give us all a heads up on relationship with 4medica...HUGH revenue stream if it ever culminates in a signed, sealed and delivered contract!..talk is just talk until contracts have been signed on money distribution for both partys and we have seen zero in that very important aspect of this relationship or other relationships for that matter!...JMHO....Tiffer
3F; Could you please perhaps talk to the folks at 4medica and ask them if MMRF is still involved with our products being integrated with them and their clients?..A real gamechanger if they are....Thanks, Tif

4medica is working with MMR Global (MMRF) to incorporate the MMR Personal Health Record (PHR) into 4medica products and services. MMR’s PHR software, together with 4medica and Kodak’s document imaging solutions, will improve patients’ access to medical-related information. Kodak and MMR Global continue to work with other developers to streamline the exchange of information between health care providers and their patients.
The above quote from the past indicates perhaps an ally/partner relationship but currently all I see is 4medica touting their own PHR and no mention of MMRF...sure hope its us they are talking about...if not..then they are simply a competitor and will bring no revenues to MMRF...guess time will tell unless a link exists I have not found on 4medica presenting the MMRF PHR...How is MMRF going to get revenues unless a doctor/patient retail sales of PHR's exist within 4medicas client base of sales?? 4medica will initiate their own "pot of gold" with their own patented software before they give it MMRF...JMO.....Tif
4medica also announced it is working with MMRGlobal (MMRF) to incorporate the MMR Personal Health Record (PHR) into 4medica products and services.

I fully expect you to spoon feed that to BL and get that bird dog on the hunt!...LOL...Tiffer (but then again ...Bob may figure out something for that scenario!)
China wants all of its citizens on electronic records and I guess that is why we have a unis-tongue/MMRF JV agreement with a 50 year span in the agreement!....Amazing!...BL said it would take years and he sure was not kidding!...Tif
Yes ... but only if separated personnel use the VA for any medical considerations. I am sure some never do as they work in an environment now aside from the military with perhaps a union negotiated health plan like Blue Cross and would elect a private PHR or Blue Button. If I had but one choice it would be MMRF for obvious reasons! I really like the VA system myself and the prompt service we all receive at the Redding, Ca. branch. In a medical emergency while on vacation I have instructions in my MMRF PHR on what to do if I am unconscious and wife has access to those instructions!...MMRF definately has its place in this new world!
Yes...kinda neat working together!...but still apples and oranges. They both are good in what they do!
Really looking forward to the auto updates That MMRF said will be coming in the future upgrading of everybody's PHR's ....kinda think they will incorporate all the "bennies" that my Blue Button has with the VA..pretty cool of that happens...I am sure they will...MMRF is not going to miss a trick, especially now being tied to a full blown system!...JMO..Tif
Department of Health and Human Services officials recognized the significance of ANA’s support at a first-ever HHS Consumer Health IT summit, held Sept. 12.
ANA’s officials said they plan to draw on the organization’s vast pool of resources to gather examples of the innovative use of healthcare IT in nursing practices. ANA will share these models with the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology. ANA is also developing educational materials on health information technology for registered nurses to share with consumers, they said.
"Health information technology can improve care by ensuring that care is based on evidence," said ANA President Karen Daley. “This unique platform for compiling and analyzing data also supports one of the strongest tenets of nursing — educating the healthcare consumer."
At the HHS summit, federal officials also announced that the Blue Button Program, launched by the Veterans Health Administration, is now going mainstream. It has extended its reach beyond the VA and is now supported by healthcare providers and health plans, with availability already extended to millions of Americans.
The Obama Administration announced the Blue Button capability in August 2010. It was developed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Markle Foundation. With the click of a blue button, users of the program can share a simple version of their healthcare information with trusted parties.
Current sponsors of Blue Button include Kaiser Permanente, McKesson, Microsoft Healthvault, Aetna and United Health Group.
"I'm proud of Blue Button Initiative," said CMS Administrator Donald Berwick. "It is an iconic wonderful idea. The Blue Button isn't just valuable, it's magic. It's the open sesame button that will open the door to a whole new level of care."..............................................................................................................................................................""As I have both Blue button, and MMRF PHR, I can say I use both extensively and know the difference in each!..My blue button is great for my VA records and my PHR with MMRF is where I keep all my familys medical records, documents in lock boxes, send a lot of fax, and just another great tool in the digital world we live in. Blue button is strictly medical while MMRF's PHR is that and much more...plus that ins. policy which means a lot to me and others I am sure!....Tiffer...
Plus all the features like unlimited fax(which easily pays for itself for people in a business), 10 family members plus pets, 1 million dollar ins. against hacking, transferable to other family member upon death, etc. etc.... just a great PHR!..I have both so I know what I am relaying to others on this board!....Tif...
AdvocateCommitHow ToAboutOver six million veterans who receive health care from VA can already download their personal health data using the Blue Button. We want to be sure the 17 million veterans who receive care from non-VA doctors and hospitals can do the same.
— Eric K. Shinseki
VA Secretary
Veterans can now expect that downloading their data will be a routine part of the care they receive from VA. We want the general public to think of Blue Button downloads as something they receive from their family doctors as a routine matter.
— Aneesh Chopra
White House Chief Technology Officer
Moving health data should be safe, simple and inexpensive. Blue Button technology is all of those things. With Blue Button, providers can give their patients the ability to keep and control their own health data. Blue Button also enables patient-authorized sharing with other doctors, hospitals, or points of service – like pharmacies.

I POST THIS FOR THOSE WHO THINK PHR'S WON'T FLY!..MMRF'S PHR IS BETTER THEN VA!.AND MORE SECURE!...Tiffer
That is the reason I have harped on posts in the past on Bob Lorsch's statement many months ago that he would not make any announcements unless he had a signed, sealed and delivered contract! "Delivered" means to me a check in MMRF's bank and something that is REAL! BL has not followed up on his statement and chooses to put out fluff hoping for the PPS to be influenced! Can not blame him for trying but I hope he realizes now that his "fluff" prs have the opposite effect! "NO credibile PR"s/contracts from MMRF for revenues loses investers confidence in MMRF and the CEO"...JMO....Tiffer
