John, was thinking about getting in & see where several are saying this is getting ready to go. Can you please give me an update what is actually happening here? Saw the 8-k out today, is there a problem with the accounts?
You still positive on MMRF?
Tom
MMRF & Bob Lorsch are doing just like Microsoft & Bill Gates did in the mid 1980's..... Defending their WINDOWS patent as they tried to build their company.
If BL had any inkling this wouldn't reward him he would have been gone a long time ago.
His car allowance, Lobster Dinners, etc... are not enough compensation to put up with the effort that he has shown in over the last 5 or 6 years I have been in this stock.
Life is to short, he has enough money & Tbone will stay with BL.
Go MMRF, BL & all the share holders, as always stay safe.
Bettindad, BL told me once he would never sell for less than $0.80 PPS.
I can confirm that there are NO delay's in the Marksman Trial. I am not the horse but I have had my ear next to Mister Ed's mouth as early as 20 minutes ago.
Amen!
NMTI you are so right but you forgot GO BL & All MMRF Long Investors.
Marksman trial in 2 weeks & I just know our team will be ready.
That is good news, it is also the descent & honorable thing to do for you fellow man/woman. God Bless BL for this decision.
Well you may be right but I would have thought that he would at least comment on it one way or another. Trip went well or it didn't go well.
Hey did you receive the PM's I sent you?
Well I am concerned that the only thing BL posted on FB was
The MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record Kit. Order it on-line now at www.drugstore.com/mymedicalrecords-personal-health-record-kit-12-month-free-concierge-service/qxp530332?catid=184044
I checked it out, it looks great. More good news, Go MMRF & BL.
Nice post, should answer Security Questions regarding the company & website.
Go MMRF!!!!
I believe will be thankful for the mid-terms & though I do not like wishing life away.... 2016 can not come soon enough.
Well it is on the shelf, from FB
Sometimes a great photo speaks for itself. In the air on my way to Chicago for product launch meetings in Deerfield and settlement meetings in Chicago with Ted Ward. Follow the trip here.

Saw that glad to have ya. if the stock ever flies you invite the Bone to be a house guest for a week or 2. I figure your new home will have an excellent house guest home sitting on your acreage.
Noticed on yahoo Ron Howard & his wife had their home up for sale, but I think you've missed out someone's already bought it. But I could visit something like that for a week or 2. LMAO!
I would have LOVED to attend, I stated a year ago I would be going to the meeting. However ill family members & as some of you know my brother-in-law passed away 2 days ago prohibited me from attending.
However, there will be another 1 next year & I hope to make it. Someone once said BL should hold it in Vegas, not that would be excellent.
Had a Heat Alert here in town today, the feel like was to reach 115 degrees. My boys are out practicing in that Chit. We're going to be in an Azz Kicking Mood this season.
Looking forward to next weeks news.
Go MMRF, Go Chief's!
As always stay safe.
What is the role of HIEs in electronic patient engagement?
Established to enable provider-to-provider communication, health information exchanges (HIEs) integrate with multiple systems, technologies, and provider cultures. While their exchange activities have always been on behalf of the patient, the idea of actually giving the patient a seat at the table is a fairly recent development. HIEs, by their nature, are in an ideal position to share the data they already manage with the people from whom it had been collected, the patients themselves. But sharing HIE data with patients is easier said than done.
As providers have accepted (if not always embraced) the transition to electronic medical records (EMRs), patients are now in a better position to acquire and access health information using their own electronic tools. Again, that process has remained more elusive than easy.
Provider EHRs that offered tethered patient portals were a good first step for patients who see one provider or multiple providers in a single health system. But patients under the care of multiple providers — including families with specialists such as pediatricians or cardiologists, in addition to internists or GPs — were required to use a separate portal for every provider, making it anything but easy to organize and manage health information in one spot.
With their established roles and relationships as health information aggregators and integrators, HIEs are poised to enter into the equation, providing value to both consumers and clinicians. HIEs are equipped to integrate with whatever systems and technologies their providers already use, and they can aggregate and disseminate health data from multiple sources direct to consumers in a standardized format.
And HIEs have good reasons to get involved in patient engagement. Grant funding is harder to come by and stimulus money is largely spent, leaving HIEs in search of reliable and recurring revenue streams. The ability to bring consumers into the mix can create value for the HIE’s provider base and deliver meaningful use at a lower cost.
Even providers eager to engage electronically with patients to meet Stage 2 Meaningful Use requirements are faced with the expense of setting up and operating patient portals. Here is where the HIE can play a significant — and valuable — role, providing the data the HIE is already aggregating from multiple providers and supplying it to patients.
Recent guidance from CMS indicates that if a patient views, downloads, or transmits (VDT) data from a shared portal (including one provided by an HIE) , each provider that contributed data to the shared portal can count that patient toward their individual five percent stage two meaningful use requirement (see FAQ7735 at CMS.gov). Whether served as a complement or alternative to tethered portals, an HIE portal can offer added value, created easily from existing data.
Make no mistake, developing and deploying an HIE patient engagement strategy is no cake walk. However, models for success do exist. In Indiana, we have worked over the last two years to make HIE data available to patients as part of an ONC Challenge Grant program. We have worked through any number of technical and policy challenges, collaborating with five Indiana HIEs and a dozen pilot sites. The results are encouraging and include measurable improvements in patient engagement levels and clinical outcomes. Now it’s time to share the lessons learned to help HIEs and other organizations address challenges and get further, faster.

Yo boys, it is time to change the profile & the signature photos.
The boys (KC Chiefs) have started rolling into town to begin training camp.
Hello Bettindad, I was thinking today I'd like to see BL offer the employees of WAG, CVS, Wal-Mart etc. who ever they sign in the national retail industry a huge discount or something to not only to get them to sign up but more importantly excited about the service to sell it better.
Did this make sense? lol... to tired to retype my thoughts.
Hello DYF, would you please provide me & the others a link to the app your speaking of. I am already signed up on that sites emailing list but I wasn't sure what you were speaking of. Oh & thanks.
Go MMRF.
As a strong supporter of MMRF I'd like to hear what was discussed at the annual SHM.
U 2 are bad, Chez, Whine & 666.... but funny. But I have to say I would have thought that share holders would have been given some kind of summary or detail of the SHM.
Someone get FE911 to break some of today down for us. Bone's being spanked again & wasn't even notified. Thanks!

Is Full Healthcare Data Interoperability A Pipe Dream?
Jul 11, 2014 06:08 pm
It’s always been very clear to me that healthcare interoperability is incredibly valuable. I still wish most organizations would just bite the bullet and make it a reality. Plus, I hope meaningful use stage 3 is blown up and would just work on interoperability. I think there are just so many potential benefits to healthcare in general for us not to do it.
However, I had a really interesting discussion with an EHR vendor today (Side Note: they questioned if interoperability was that valuable) and I asked him the question of whether full healthcare interoperability is even possible.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. As we discussed it more, it was clear that we could have full interoperability if the data was just exported to files (PDFs, images, etc), but that’s really just a glorified fax machine like we do today. Although it could potentially be a lot faster and better than fax. The problem is that the data is then stuck in these files and can’t be extracted into the receiving EHR vendor.
On the other end of the spectrum is full interoperability of every piece of EHR data being transferred to the receiving EHR. Is this even possible or is the data so complex that it’s never going to happen?
The closest we’ve come to this is probably prescriptions with something like SureScripts. You can pull down a patient’s prescription history and you can upload to it as well. A deeper dive into its challenges might be a great study to help us understand if full healthcare data interoeprability is possible. I’m sure many readers can share some insights.
I’m interested to hear people’s thoughts. Should we trim down our interoperability expectations to something more reasonable and achievable? We’ve started down that path with prescriptions and labs. Should we start with other areas like allergies, family history, diagnosis, etc as opposed to trying to do everything? My fear is that if our goal is full healthcare data interoperability, then we’re going to end up with no interoperability.

Morning DYF, I remember you from just a couple years ago. Another thing I find positive for MMRF are your recent (last few months) post & the change of attitude you have towards the company & it's possibilities.
Good Luck To You & all MMRF believers.
To improve quality, value of patient data, get them involved, study says
By Joseph Conn
The key to the future use of patient-generated data is focusing on data that patients want to produce, own and use and making it easy for them to produce it.
At least, that's the take of four co-authors from Duke University in an article in this month's healthcare policy journal Health Affairs. The July issue is chockablock with articles on the many forms and uses of Big Data.
“We observe that the key to high-quality, patient-generated data is to have immediate and actionable data so that patients experience the importance of the data for their own care as well as research purposes,” the authors said in “Assessing the Value of Patient-Generated Data to Comparative Effectiveness Research.”
Patient-generated data, which the authors describe as patient-reported outcomes, or PRO will be “critical to developing the evidence base that informs decisions made by patients, providers and policymakers in pursuit of high-value medical care,” they predict.
“The easier it is for patients and clinicians to navigate (personal data) the more relevant that information will be to patient care, the more invested patients and clinics will be in contributing high-quality data, and the better the data in the big-data ecosystem will be,” they write.
“Analysis show that data quality improves over time and that the amount of missing data declines as patients experience the attention to their symptoms and actions that result from the information they provide,” the authors say.
Gathering patient-reported outcomes data remains in its early stages, the authors report, but doing something as simple as telling a patient, “I looked at your symptom report and … ” reinforces the data-collection effort, they said.
Electronic health-record systems are now required to have patient portals under Stage 2 meaningful-use criteria of the federal EHR incentive payment program, and many of the portals have survey capabilities, they said. Thus, patient “data collection in the clinical setting is rapidly increasing.”

All I can say is Thank God for Mountain High Stock Club board. lol...
Knowing you as I do BJ77 I am surprised you go to the zoo so often. Me, once I've seen the yard apes that's enough for me. Can't stand or be bothered by all their cackling. lol...
Give it time, something being rolled out to as many locations as they have surely takes some time.
Walgreens isn't going to post anything on their website. Do you know how many lawsuits they have going on at any 1 time?

Good morning T, lets just look back to 1990. No one wanted or was comfortable with online banking, in 10 years by 2000 that attitude changed / turned 360 degrees.
and what is your point? the numbers here do not change. MMRF strong & Long!
New state law limits what hospitals can charge patients for medical record copies
Gloria Aslanidis of West Ashley flips through a digital copy of medical records for her father, Charlie Aslanidis, 78, that she received last year from the Medical University Hospital. The hospital charged her $3,801.30 for the CD. File/Grace Beahm/Staff
A new state law capping the amount hospitals and doctors can charge patients for digital and paper copies of their medical records was signed by Gov. Nikki Haley last week. S.C. House Speaker Bobby Harrell said he felt compelled to pre-file the bill in December after he learned that Medical University Hospital charged West Ashley resident Gloria Aslanidis $3,800 for a CD copy of her father's medical records.
The hospital calculated her fee using the per-page rates established by a 1992 state law, which was written at a time when processing medical records requests was a paper intensive process.
"It allowed hospitals to take advantage of you," Aslanidis said.
The new law prohibits health care providers from charging more than $150 for copies of a medical record in an electronic format, regardless of the number of pages in the record or the number of times the patient was admitted to the facility.
The maximum amount they can charge for a paper copy is $200 - per hospital admission.
"To be quite honest, I'm ecstatic," Aslanidis said. "It restored my faith in the system."
In an interview in December, Harrell, R-Charleston, said he thought it was "absurd" that hospitals would charge the same per page rates for a digital copy as they would for an electronic copy of a medical record.
"The frustration is, you really shouldn't even have to update the law," he said. "The providers should be exercising some discretion and not charging patients that much money."

Cerner, Accenture, Leidos Partner on DoD EHR Bid
Cerner, Accenture Federal Services and Leidos have partnered to bid on the Department of Defense's $11 billion, 10-year Healthcare Management System Modernization contract to build the department's next health information system.
"Our goal is to provide the best solution at the best value — a world-class solution that is highly interoperable, built on modern and open architecture and designed and deployed by a team with unmatched expertise in implementing complex systems around the globe," according to a statement. "Accenture, Leidos and Cerner are committed to ensuring that the best electronic health record capability is available for clinicians, and our nation's military and their families, regardless of where they seek medical care."
Cerner is not the only EHR vendor to be a part of a bid. Epic has partnered with IBM, and Allscripts with HP and CSC, to compete for the contract. The Department of Veterans Affairs is also expected to bid to replace the DoD's system with VistA, currently used by the VA.
