T1, as always your are so right.
In a recent conversation with BL I mentioned to him that what all is taking place in the health care industry & with a national elections coming up I would like to see MMRF do some national advertising & introduce the PHR to the end user.
He didn't say anything but when we hung up I just knew I was several steps behind him & before this years elections I'd be watching Bill O'Reilly & see a commercial regarding the PHR & MMRF.
Bro, you are always ahead of the game and like just a hand full of others out here I listen when you speak.
Hell, I don't have to be smart or even knowledgeable, just know who to follow to actually get to the CHOW line.

1st. It all has to communicate with 1 another.
2nd. Over 85% of physicians aren't even setup & ready to go yet.
3rd. why ask your questions of this board instead of asking Bob Lorsch CEO of MMRGlobal, Inc. rhl@rhlgroup.com
SMF, hey some of what you've brought up over the last several months many of here would like answered. If you would like I could arrange & setup a call between all 3 of us (you, BL & myself) and we could get right down to the bottom of your concerns & questions.
I'm serious, let me know what you would like to do?
I'm listening to a lot about hear & now when the conversation ought to be about tomorrow & to come.

Influential Group of Walgreens Shareholders To Include Goldman Sachs Urging Walgreens To Move To Europe As Largest Tax Inversion Ever Attempted - The “Goldman Honey Badger Don’t Care”…
Sunday, April 13, 2014
Well with banks like this, who needs enemies. You may or may not be aware of the deal Walgreens made with Boots in the UK a while back but they somewhat own that retail drug store business with an option at one point down the road to buy it all. We all should know about Tax Havens and of course this is a re-location that would be a “legal” tax haven type of move to save paying taxes in the United States. I swear I just keep watching this over and over and wonder when anyone is going to step in here and work out some kind of a solution.
Companies and banks all make their big money here in the US and the big tech and pharma folks use the Big 4 US accounting agencies to set them up with a tax haven. Back at the ranch Walgreens is suing it’s competitors for software licensing now too..what a busy company it is.
Walgreens Suing CVS, Rite Aid, Wants License and IP Damage Reimbursement, Patent Violations, Software Used For Refilling Prescriptions Via Mobile Phone Scanners… Not Getting Enough Data to Sell?
As far as their data selling business where they scrape and sell us to anyone with money, that is growing and a couple years ago it was bringing in about 1 billion a year and could be closer to 2 billion now as there’s more scraping and data selling go on now than ever and there’s more flaws showing up as well. It’s the best deal in the world as far as profitability as when there’s errors, they have free labor force to follow up and do the leg work to fix it..and that would be us because we get screwed for denied access to something until “their” errors are fixed and in the meantime they’ve long put the money in the bank.

Maybe Walgreens can talk Goldman with them (grin) and that was satire as we know Goldman is already there but not as their headquarters. How about all these other companies in the US that pay their taxes here that do business with Walgreens? How do they feel about this? This is greed straight out forward.
“In a note last month, analysts at UBS said Walgreens’ tax rate was expected to be 37.5 per cent compared with 20 per cent for Boots, and that an inversion could increase earnings per share by 75 per cent.”
So far Walgreens is hesitant as they see some potential political issues and I think they are right with that perception. The old banker boys though, they don't care, "we want more money”…look what these tech companies are doing… and now they want to scrape and sell more of your data too?

Walgreens has come under pressure from an influential group of its shareholders, who want the US pharmacy chain to consider relocating to Europe, in what would be one of the largest tax inversions ever attempted.
At a private meeting in Paris on Friday, investors owning close to 5 per cent of Walgreens’ shares lobbied the company’s management to use its $16bn takeover of Swiss-based Alliance Boots to re-domicile its tax base.
The investor group, which included Goldman Sachs Investment Partners and hedge funds Jana Partners, Corvex and Och-Ziff, requested the meeting after becoming frustrated by Walgreens’ refusal to consider relocating, according to people familiar with the matter.
Existing rules mean that a US company can forgo its domestic tax status through a deal that transfers more than 20 per cent of its shares to foreign owners.
A tax inversion by Walgreens would be likely to face strong political resistance in the US, where the practice has become increasingly popular during the past two years, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector.

Types of Etailers defined:
Two distinct categories of e-tailers are pure plays and bricks and clicks. A pure play e-tailer uses the Internet as its primary means of retailing. Examples of pure play e-tailers are Dell and Amazon.com. A brick and click e-tailer uses the Internet to push its good or service but also has the traditional physical storefront available to customers. Combining this new type of retail and the old of a general store is a new type of store which is part of the green economics movement, promoting ethical consumerism.

X, I just got an email from BL on the article I posted out here that you are asking me about. I emailed it to him earlier today & his response was....
X, sorry but the board has been quite since the conf. call. There were only 14 post made today. Send BL an email rhl@rhlgroup.com he'll get back with you & answer your question.
I got a feeling the board will stay quite for awhile.
I believe so but like you I'm no teky either. Best to ask T1, 3F, EZ, FJ74 or even Sakata7. Someone help this man & I get an answer.
X, I did send the article to BL as I do with many I post out here. A week or so ago I had a question regarding our security when I posted the Kaiser article about a data breach. I just emailed BL & in a day or 2 he had responded. I also think he addressed it in the conf. call.
CHIME Time: Surprise! MU Stage 2 will require some very heavy lifting
By Stephen Stewart Posted: April 11, 2014 - 1:45 pm ET
We all fought our way through Stage 1 of meaningful use. It was not without stress, trials and tribulations. But folks, if you have yet to begin work on Stage 2, it makes the first stage look like a walk in the park.
I'm not suggesting that the measures in Stage 2 lack value; far from it. But for our organization, some of the measures have presented unexpected challenges.
In particular, achieving the “view, download and transit” requirement under the Patient Engagement topic has been interesting. We installed our 2014-certified electronic health record code back in September, and the patient portal was part of that release. We began the implementation in October, with the goal of certifying in the first quarter of federal fiscal 2014. However, our partner had designed the portal to trigger off an email sent to the patient after discharge. The initial design could only securely establish a portal account through that email mechanism.
That approach didn't work for us. We are a small rural facility in a county with about 20,000 residents. More than 55% of our patient population is covered by Medicare, and more than 15% are covered by Title XIX of Medicaid. We found that our goal to have 50% of our patients in a portal account was unachievable with our patient mix.
After trying nearly everything, we found that barely 30% of our patient population had email addresses. While some of our patients had work-only email addresses, or were reluctant to tell us those addresses, the most common response was that they simply didn't have an email account. That shouldn't be a shock, considering that this is an aging, primarily rural patient population.
We and several of the vendor's clients that were encountering the same email conundrum talked to our vendor about our plight; they listened and responded quickly. Another mechanism had to be established through which portal accounts could be created. The solution involved establishing a way for patients to set up their portal account at discharge. Further, this alternative mechanism could be used at any time after discharge to assist patients in setting up and using a portal account. The vendor delivered the solution in mid-February—not a bad turnaround time. Even better, it works great.
What does this anecdote have to do with the topic of heavy lifting? We didn't see this problem coming. Because email was the first entry point designed for patient portal engagement, and we had the patient and the authorized representative as possible contacts for each registration, I never dreamed that this would be a significant problem, but clearly, it was a deal-breaker issue for us.
My message is this: Don't underestimate the work to be done to reach Stage 2. It will be tough. Start now and work hard at it. We also found challenges with care transitions and with computerized physician order entry, in radiology, of all places. Both of these challenges required workflow modifications that took some time—unexpected time.
Some advice: Study the requirements, get your certified 2014 code installed and begin to address issues at once. We must attest to Stage 2 in 2014. If you are in the same boat, time is getting short. Even if you have more time, engage immediately. For a small organization like ours, the challenge is doable, but it takes some real heavy lifting.

Karen DeSalvo National Coordinator for Health Information Technology & Keynote speaker at this years 4th Annual International Summit on the Future of Health Privacy on June 4 - 5, 2014
Karen DeSalvo: 5 necessities to reach interoperability
Interoperability will help ease "slow boil" of healthcare in U.S.
The U.S. healthcare system isn't a catastrophe like Hurricane Katrina, but it's a slow boil, Karen DeSalvo, National Coordinator for Health IT, said Thursday during Health Care Innovation Day in Washington, D.C.
"The pain is greater and greater, breaking the bank for many Americans," DeSalvo (pictured) said to open the event, hosted by West Health Institute and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
Citing her experience as the City of New Orleans Health Commissioner in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, DeSalvo said she knows what it's like to build a system from the ground up. And health IT was at the foundation of all of the city's work
"We began to plan. We needed to do better; it was about having information at hand for doctors," DeSalvo said. "We needed to understand population health."
DeSalvo stressed the importance of population health at January's Health IT Policy Committee meeting.
"That is the major next chapter that we must undertake as part of the President's major domestic policy initiative," DeSalvo said at the meeting. "[T]o see the promise of health information technology in the clinical interface for the health systems and the population and community at large to come to fruition." She added that she would like to see "real improvements" in health over time that could help with things like preparedness in the face of disasters.
To DeSalvo, interoperability will inspire trust and confidence in the public and empower consumers to be more engaged in their care. Interoperability doesn't only need to adhere to the three-part aim of reducing costs, improving care and improving health--five more things, she said, are essential, including:
• End-user adoption of electronic health records
• Standards
• Having the right incentives in place
• Privacy and security
• Proper governance and structure of health information exchange (HIE) balanced with equity in the system
DeSalvo said doctors, providers, the government and patients all need to broaden how they're thinking about the world. Patients live in many other places than in the doctor's office and hospital, and ideas about interoperability matter for aging in place, acute care and everyday wellness. Getting there is going to be a "complex and exciting endeavor," she said.
It's not just the basics, DeSalvo said, but also a matter of figuring out how to achieve interoperability with the never-ending onslaught of new medical devices. Creativity, innovation and coming to a consensus will be key.

Doctors are making house calls via Skype
In the World of Instant Communication, Some Doctors Add Skype to the Mix
By SOPHIE REID | Newsworks.org | Wednesday, Apr 9, 2014 | Updated 1:50 PM EDT
Some boutique medical practices are offering Skype sessions with doctors as an instant communication bonus to their clients, for a price. And modern communication will likely change how all of us eventually communicate with our doctors. But, some medical experts are concerned that it could be destructive to practicing good medicine.
One boutique startup in Philadelphia trying out this Skype approach is R-Health. For a $79 monthly subscription, the company offers family doctor services, plus some modern accessories.
With R-Health, you can Skype or email your doctor from the comfort of your home or office. And although you have to buy a separate insurance policy to cover major costs - like an operation – it does sound pretty convenient.
o what kinds of problems might online doctoring work for? Dr. Randy Robinson, Chief Medical Officer at R-Health, says talking over a blood test or a diagnosis for something like shingles – can all be done using Skype. And patients can still go in to see the doctor, if they want to.
The idea is to make life easier for everyone.
"We're able to take technology that has evolved over time and use it in medical practice as a tool to deliver care, rather than an obstacle between patient and provider," says Robinson.
The power of face to face contact
There's little doubt that all this instant communication with your doctor is convenient. But it's a far cry from the cozy 1950s image of the family physician.
Dr. Victoria Sweet is an internist and Professor of Medicine at the University of California. She prefers the old school style of medicine – and says there's no substitute for real face time with your doctor.
"Skype I'm a little more skeptical of because it's so easy to think that you can replace that really personal presence," says Dr. Sweet.
I asked her whether being in the same room as a patient really makes a difference.
"There's so much you get out of it," she says. "I mean if I watch somebody just walk in, I smell them. You smell their clothes. You smell how clean they are or how dirty."
Dr. Sweet told me about one patient who was sent to her. He'd had every test imaginable, and still nobody could figure out what was wrong with him. But a simple physical exam gave Dr. Sweet the clues she needed - to make a diagnosis.
"It turned out he had esophageal cancer, metastatic. Nobody had felt these lumps. They'd done all the blood tests, they'd sat in front of their computers. But they'd never looked at the man," she says. "It was right on his body. This happened over and over again.
A powerful message that hands on doctoring - through sight, smell and touch - could be the key to better healthcare.
"The really good family practitioner, they're incredible," she says. "They're so important in their patients' lives. You can't replace that. It's a relationship. And the essence of the matter is that relationship."
'Enhancing a relationship'
So how can we make sure that - in a hectic world - gadgets don't distance us from our doctors?
Koncierge MD is a software company based in Newtown Square, Pa. It's helping doctors clinics across America adopt web and smartphone technology into their practice. Chief Executive - Vijay Khanna – insists that online access to our doctors adds to the patient experience.
"They get to still see their physician," Khanna says. "We're not taking away, we are enhancing that relationship, because now I can, in a more convenient way, email my doctor and schedule appointments so it's actually enhancing that relationship in so many better ways."
Instant access doesn't automatically equal quality care. But it sure would be nice to avoid the dreaded waiting room scenario we've all become familiar with.

T1, he posted on FB that
EZ2, no I do not know. I listened to the call last night, my question is... I thought we were going to here of additional agreements.
Well everyone... how was the conference call today. I was in a class all day today & tomorrow & haven't gone out to hear the replay yet? Must of been good, the stock is up some today.
Did BL mention our new agreements? any money coming?
T1, thank you.
Does anyone know if you're unable to listen to tomorrows call at the time is there a way to listen tomorrow? Thanks!
He is a question I would like someone to answer for me.
If all this dilution of the stock is happening, who is buying new suckers or us same ol'fools?
Your going all the way back to October 2013 about dilution, my comment was correct it was not BL diluting a couple of weeks ago when we were having the high volumes. That is when I asked him & that was when he was responding.
I know several out here that own 7, 8 & 10 million shares. It was them taking a little profit & getting rid of some of their shares. Just a couple weeks ago when were all worried.
Definitely a need for MMRF/PHR. If you all did not catch it you need to go to "60 Minutes" website & watch the 2 segment of tonight's show.
This is an email exchange I had with BL the other day, it was an article about a breach on Kaiser Permanente. FJ&$ & BlackJack77 are already aware of it, scroll down & start with the article & read up. This 1st bold is what I sent to FJ74 & BJ77.
This was the response BL sent me regarding my email.

Kaiser Permanente Notifies Patients of Data Breach Caused by Malware
Written by Ayla Ellison (Twitter | Google+) | April 03, 2014
The Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research in Oakland, Calif. has begun notifying patients their personal and health information was compromised when its research server was infiltrated by malware.
The malware broke down the server's security barriers in October 2011 and Kaiser learned of the attack Feb. 12, 2014.
The server contained affected patients' first names, last names, dates of birth, ages, genders, addresses, ethnicities, medical record numbers and lab results. The patients whose information was on the server had participated in a research study.
According to the notification letter, Kaiser currently has no information leading it to believe any unauthorized person accessed the information on the server. "We have no indication that your information has been used for fraud or other criminal activity. We have found no evidence to date that the information on the server or connected to the server was ever actually opened, copied or used by any unauthorized persons," the letter said.

T1, I normally would not disagree with you... well you've never said anything I have ever disagreed with until now.
Could someone please tell me when this interview took place

nypete can you tell me the date of this interview that was posted on you tube? thanks!
Hey, I follow this stock as well. When was that interview done, it does say?
xanadu, now you went out a read up on him, so you know he only was making just a little over $900k. lol
What About Data Beyond the EMR?
While I enjoy the humor of the tweet as much as the next person (everyone who knows me knows I’m all about the humor), this conversation reminds me a lot of what was done with ICD-10. The “funny ICD-10 codes” got all the attention and made ICD-10 a joke in the minds of so many people. This was highlighted by this guest post on EMR and HIPAA called “Why Do People Find ICD-10 So Amusing?” Those who support the shift to ICD-10 did a poor job explaining why ICD-10 was valuable to the quality of care a patient gets. Talking about all the funny ICD-10 codes (and they are funny) goes against the goals of those who see value in the move to ICD-10.
I bring this up because the same thing could easily happen with big data in healthcare. While it’s funny to think about how a doctor might treat us if they know we had a donut for breakfast, there are really meaningful data sources beyond the EMR. If we focus too much on the periphery of the data, then we’re going to miss out on a lot of the value that comes from the not so funny parts of big data.
Right now our EMR systems can’t support most of the data that could come from outside the EMR. However, that shift is going to happen and it’s going to happen quickly. My gut tells me that it will start with the wave of consumer centric medical sensors. Then, I see genomic and social data getting integrated next (both really large projects). These three areas will set the baseline for how outside data is integrated with the EMR data.
Let me offer the key points to consider in these data integrations:
-Automated: The data must pass seamlessly without the need for user interaction
-Smart Data: The user of the system needs the system to be smart. The user should only be notified with what’s actionable, but with the ability to drill into the data as needed.
-Bi Directional: The data needs to be seen and updated by both provider and patient. The system will need to have a great way to track who updated which data. However, we need both the patient and providers eyes on the data with the ability to update incorrect data.
These points should illustrate why integrating outside data is going to be such a challenge. However, it’s also why it holds such promise

LS, call him with your questions. Not only you but we all can benefit from your insight.
Thank you SMF, I'm not sure I knew that, but thanks for bring me up to snuff. Stay good!
BJ77, it is late & the Canadians have invaded my home. Going to bed is a good idea, however the mind is still churning.
There are several folks on this board & not even 1% speak / post.
MMRF is still ahead of it's time but the time is upon us all. As we proceed into the future, tomorrow, health care is going to become more & more commercialized.
What I have grown up with & have come to know will not be when I sis & am deceased.
With family & friends I use the example.... that in 1990 I would never Bank via on the internet. Damn was I a slow & stupid thinker, by 2000 is was a part of my every day life. AND people stop & think, that was 14 (fourteen) years ago.
I have spoken to BL several times in the last couple of weeks, what I keep hitting him mostly with.... is we live in a time health care is at the fore front. We have an election coming up, why isn't MMRF spending the monies & doing some national advertising.
His response is standard, he can not tell me anything without violating SEC laws. But I am a risk taker why the Sam Hell else would I be hear?
I will predict by the end of this year & probably closer 2 & right before elections you will see national advertising by MMRGlobal, Inc. Now that's putting your neck on the chopping block.
MMRF Boyardee's Good Night & Stay Safe!
PS: I am a risk taker, but I am far away from believing this is a RISK. If the patents are valid!
Yo T1, G63080 & all you other MMRF Boyardee's, this is from an email I received from CEO Robert "Bob" H. Lorsch @ 4:20pm CST today. It came with a PDF file that was an estimate of the value of the statue. If you would like a copy of this email & PDF file send me your email address. Here are the contents on that email.
I am tired of all the emails I have been receiving about the RS and my statue. If you are receiving this email your are amongst the few that asks me a direct questions without hiding behind an alias so I thought I would again set the record straight for you and anyone else who is interested. First the Company’s Facebook post from yesterday is being twisted to imply things it does not mean.
Accordingly the comments that are being made about there being plans for MMR to do an RS at this time are still not true. Specifically restating what I have said for years, “there is no RS coming at this time, and in fact I have gone on to say it has never even been discussed at the board level of the Company.”
Provided however that I have also said that we would do whatever was necessary to “UP-LIST” MMR to a small Cap Nasdaq, NYSE or American Stock Exchange listing in an effort to stabilize the trading of our stock based on my observation of other HIT company trading and most recently the Castlight (NYSE: CSLT) IPO.
However any such “Up Listing” would be done in connection with delivery and execution of our business plan including meaningful revenue and licensing agreements. If anyone thinks a Nasdaq, NYSE or American Exchange listing trading in dollars rather than trading on the OTC in pennies is not a good thing I would question their true agenda.
All of this “RS Talk” has been shared with those criticizing the loudest and the most (both on calls and in person) over years and nothing has changed. The fact that anyone says they have information to the contrary is simply not being truthful at this time.

SMF, I am not a level 2 with Ihub. So how do I know that the images that you post out here are of MMRF's trading?
BL has told me a couple of times he has no intention of an RS. 1 of the conversations was within the last week.
