9:45-10:05am Company Presentation: MMR Information Systems, Inc.

 MMR Information Systems, Inc. provides secure and easy-to-use online Personal Health Records (PHRs) for consumers and healthcare professionals and electronic document management solutions designed to give small to mid-size physician practices a cost-effective and non-disruptive system for digitizing paper-based medical records and storing them in a Web-based portal. The MyMedicalRecords PHR (www.mymedicalrecords.com) is built on proprietary, patented technologies to allow documents, images and voicemail messages to be transmitted and stored in the system using a variety of methods, including fax, phone and file upload without relying on any specific electronic medical record platform to populate a user’s account. A separate patented Emergency Login gives medical personnel and first responders access to potentially life-saving information in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.  For its newest offering, MMRPro (www.mymedicalrecordsmd.com), MMR has teamed with Kodak to help physicians lower the cost and increase the efficiency of digitizing patient records and making them available to patients through a patient portal that incorporates the MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record.  To learn more about MMR Information Systems and its products, visit www.mmrinformationsystems.com
