I truly believe that having a personal health record will be as important to daily life as having a credit report. With the passage “Obama Care”, more than 30 million more Americans will be added to the government’s insurance plan. As a result of the escalating costs of healthcare coverage, many of those will come from existing coverage’s abandoned by employers.
That means that millions will be forced to find new doctors and care providers at great personal expense. Those costs will be significantly reduced when a person maintains a personal health record, which will eliminate the need to pay for work-ups and care that has already been provided by other treating physicians.
When I was in China, negotiating the agreements with Unis to create a joint venture to provide electronic medical records with an MMR personal health record inside, I saw proof that personal health records represent a worldwide phenomenon based on the need to reduce medical costs everywhere in the world, providing tools so insureds can take advantage of “tourist medicine”, enabling anyone to get cost effective treatment anywhere in the world. As a Company that through its agreement with Chartis International has the opportunity to provide personal health records to as many as 40 million subscribers in 160 countries, MMR demonstrates further the recognition of the importance of having a personal health record in our lives.
