Hello!
First of all I would like to thank you for making my life so much easier! I am seriously considering buying HealthFrame, because it's so easy to use and handy. Now that we have a new baby home, I'm happy to have a place to store all his medical information in, without the clutter of keeping all the paperwork.

I was wondering if there is a chance of getting a Canadian version of HealthFrame in the near future. It would only take minor changes to the program. (Changing Social Security number to Social Insurance number, and adding OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) to coverage. Also I think there is a slight difference between the immunizations for babies and kids that are recommended.)
It would greatly help us Canadians to work with the program and I'm sure it would be appreciated.

Another thing I consider a minor inconvenience is the fact that even for family members, I have to type in the address over and over again. I'm not sure if there's a way to link the address together, but if there isn't it's not a big deal. Still, it would be a nice addition to do to make our life a bit easier (not that you haven't done it already!).

It's just a few things that I thought of. Hopefully I'll "hear" from you soon!

Dear Kasia,

Thanks for evaluating HealthFrame.  We're happy to hear that you find it easy to use and helpful in caring for your new baby.  (By the way, ADORABLE baby picture you added to your profile!  )

We have received some recent feedback from Canadian users, in general pointing out areas where HealthFrame might benefit from some changes that would make it work better for Canadian Health systems, etc.  We do appreciate detailed information such as what you have provided here and we encourage you (and others) to let us know as you run into additional areas where we should consider making HealthFrame more Canadian-friendly.

Since you are a new user, I feel I should make sure you are aware of certain features in HealthFrame that may not be particularly obvious from initial use.

1. While we don't include OHIP in the default list of coverages, you should scroll down to the bottom of the list, where you will find an ellipsis (...).  If you select it, you will be able to add any text you'd like (in particular, Ontario Health Insurance Plan).

2.  The immunization wizard that comes built into HealthFrame is based on US CDC recommendations for child immunizations.  In fact, you should note the link at the bottom of the immunization wizard page to the CDC page: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm5451-Immunization.pdf

Of course, you can enter ANY date for your child's immunization for the actual dates when your child was vaccinated - even if it falls outside the immunization wizard's 'recommended' ranges.  If you find the immunization wizard confusing, because of these discrepancies, you can simply Add Immunizations without using the wizard altogether.

3. Finally, with HealthFrame you can copy and paste providers, which may help you with the problem of double entry of addresses.  Unfortunately, we are still working on our improved contact management (which includes addresses, etc) and we do not have a way in general of sharing family member addresses.

Thanks for your feedback and we hope to hear more suggestions from you soon,
Support Team
