You just said it would be good news. MMR embedded within EHR? 4Medica is one of the top EHRs out there. There is enough data out there that firmly places slow uptake of untethered PHRs on the market (lack of consumer interest-yet; security concerns, etc). There are plenty of other PHR firms that have not endured this long. Suggest anyone that wants to blame it all on MMR's management is essentially blaming one CEO for troubles all untethered PHRs are experiencing. http://www.medicalrecords.com/mrcbase/emr/4medica-ambulatory-cloud-iehr-by-4medica

Sep 2012 PHR paper from UK perspective as one of many examples of why PHRs have been slow in the uptake.

Or this:

...patients are slow to embrace them. “Revolution Health and Google Health are two high-profile examples of the literally dozens of consumer-based electronic PHR (personal health record) providers to close their doors over the past few years. Many chalked these failures up to a patient community that just wasn’t ready to take responsibility for their own health information,” wrote Healthcare Technology Online’s Ken Congdon.

Nope, I guess its all BL's fault for staying afloat in this tuff market and actually making headway in a market (PHR, specifically untethered) that only now is starting to get rolling in the shadow of EHR slow rolling implementation.
