Personal Health Record: Manage Your Medical Records and Medical History - www.HealthAtoZ.com: " Free, easy to use and completely secure, the PHR allows you to manage your family's medical records on-line - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Use the calendar to keep track of medical appointments, lab tests, prescription refills and appointments.
Schedule e-mail reminders so you never again forget an important doctor's appointment, medication refill, immunization or lab test.
Record medications and check for drug interactions. Don't worry about the spelling. The database will recognize a partial or close spelling and allow you to select the drug from a list. When you add a new medication, you'll be notified of any potential interactions with other drugs you are taking. "
I am always interested in companies who are dedicated to the cause of change especially in a market that is doesn't want to lose their stranglehold on the American consumer.
ReplyDeleteOne provider I have found that is actually providing real health care services is MyMedLab.com. Their site provides excellent educational information including links with every test to the National Library of Medicine.
They have found a way to make routine health care easy to access, affordable and completely confidential. You purchase your testing online or through their Call Center and visit one of the 1500 collection sites they partner with across the U.S.
I purchased a Wellness Profile from MyMedLab.com that included all the same tests and more that my doctor had run on me two years before for about 1/4 of the cost my doctor charged me.
I went the next morning for collection without an appointment to the same place he had sent me that was 2 miles from my house. I had results in 24 hours that came with a brief explanation of each test.
What a huge difference from what I got from my doctor two years before. First his tests cost me FOUR TIMES MORE and all I got was a phone call two weeks later that everything was fine. Never saw my results. Never got to discuss anything about them.
They provide a wide range of Wellness Profiles that have been created based on the consumer's age, gender and family history. This basic information is all you need to know to choose the profile that best fits your specific group. It removes the mystery of what tests evaluate the common health problems associated with your age, and sex as a group.
Their process also includes the services of an doctor in your state who approves your order, reviews your results and is available for a FREE consultation about your results if you need one. The cost of this service is included in the price of their tests.
I encourage you to visit their site and see for yourself. I would also suggest you add them to your next list of companies making a difference in health care today.
I would love to see them partner with these PHR companies that are emerging because I think the results of their Wellness Profiles would be a great way to establish the BASELINE data for these records.
