MMRF Ebola news from earlier:
Two nationally syndicated television commercials, including retailer tags, can also be seen at

and

. The commercials focus on the value of being prepared for any medical emergency and the benefits of having a PHR as part of a family's disaster preparedness plan.

According to Robert H. Lorsch, MMRGlobal CEO, "At this time, when hospitals rely on diagnostic decisions by computer through an Electronic Medical Records ("EMR") system, it's more important than ever for the patient to be in control of their care. EMRs are being installed in hospitals and medical offices nationwide. Many healthcare professionals rely on them for diagnostic decisions, often removing the human care element by looking at a screen instead of the patient. These systems have cost taxpayers more than 28 billion dollars through reimbursements mandated under the HITECH Act. The impact of this shift in the care of a patient is scary. Even after Ebola patient zero told an emergency room intake person that he had just returned from Liberia, the EMR system on site sent the patient home to be treated for flu. Had the patient had a PHR that the emergency room could have looked at, doctors would have immediately seen that he had traveled from Africa, and the outcome might have been very different."
