MyHealthArchive revolutionizes medical records
Patients instantly & securely Web-access health information
HOUSTON, TX (August 9, 2007) Making a quantum leap from the paper-based medical records morass, the PatientCentral Technologies team from the world-renowned Texas Medical Center introduces breakthrough technology to consumers everywhere -- for updating, securely storing and retrieving individual patient information via the Web.
"MyHealthArchive is a revolution not only for patients but for health care providers, too," says Dr. Al Davies, the system's innovator and prominent critical care physician. "MyHealthArchive is very user-friendly for patients. It allows them to be more directly involved in their own healthcare through more accurate, updated medical information and better communications."
For example, continues Dr. Davies, "This online health records archive helps reduce the risk of injury or complications. Did you ever forget important medical facts when you were at the doctor's office? Having your own archive means you can keep track of all those details. On the provider side, beyond improving day to day healthcare, it also enables emergency personnel to capture and communicate information from emergency sites to a hospital ER, and may aid in reuniting patients with their families."
"In other words," Dr. Davies adds, "MyHealthArchive covers the entire spectrum of care from routine visits to physicians, to hospitalizations, to emergency services, to disaster scenes. For example, while being involved in a serious accident is tragic in itself, that nightmare is made worse when a victim's medical history is not available. MyHealthArchive can fill that information void and potentially save a life."
Physicians and nurses can use the information to know what illnesses, medications and historical events are important to deciding what action should be taken. "The patient may choose to have the health care provider send medical updates to the personal archive as new events occur." says PatientCentral's Vice President of Clinical Operations, Valerie Purcell, RN, MBA, "On an everyday basis, MyHealthArchive provides secure Web access to personal health care information 24/7/365."
Currently, few people fully document key medical facts. This technology changes everything. Now each patient's information can be accessed from wherever they are in the world. The archive includes graphing of health care data, personal and medical provider contact lists, calendaring and reminders, along with a unique section for preventive health care.
"MyHealthArchive uniquely utilizes the same encryption that is used for top secret communications within the United States Government, including the Department of Defense, providing high grade privacy and security for personal healthcare information." says Matt Davies, PatientCentral's Vice President of IT and a highly skilled cryptographer/programmer.
MyHealthArchive interfaces with hospitals using a number of electronic systems including PatientCentral's MedManagerTM, for medications and PatientCentral's DisasterLinkTM for emergency and disaster management. All these innovations put patients in the center of their care, which improves safety and quality. Concludes Dr. Davies, "MyHealthArchive empowers you to be better informed, and to better inform your physicians, resulting in higher quality care that's more coordinated, safer, timelier and more effective."
