No More Clipboard unveils medical-records compiler

A new partner for the Microsoft Health Vault...and plans to partner with Google...I can see this being of value to a physician to import medical information to the EMR chart...again it would be the decision of the physician on whether or not to import the information after a comparison...there may be information that would not be relative in the EMR Chart...and then again, additional information provided by the patient could really be helpful...interesting too in the fact that the service will be free of charge to work with EMR/EHR software companies...one big potential advance in getting a complete chart for each patient...if a patient were seeing more than one physician this could really be helpful in keeping things up to date at all ends....and again the patient has the overall control as to what they include in the PHR (personal health record)....BD

A Fort Wayne company Monday launched a Web-based tool designed to ease the flow of medical information between different electronic records and health-information-exchange networks. NoMoreClipboard.com is partnering with Microsoft HealthVault – a Web site for managing personal health and medical information. And it plans to partner with Google Health, a platform still in its pilot phase where users can manage their own health records.
NoMoreClipboard.com , an online personal health records company, developed FroozHIE as a tool to compare information, such as medications, from different sources side-by-side. Patient information sent remotely from a personal health record can be compared alongside data in an electronic medical record at the doctor’s office, company officials said. FroozHIE does this without overwriting or duplicating data, said Michael Mirro, a Fort Wayne-based cardiologist and chairman of the IT Committee for the American College of Cardiology. “With the FroozHIE tool, I see the information I have next to similar information from the patient, and I can click on one button to selectively incorporate data I don’t have into my (electronic medical record).”
The product is being offered free of charge, including to other health care IT vendors, something Donnell believes will help raise the company’s profile.
