Hello, Jeff.
Welcome to the HealthFrame User Community Forum.
In response to your questions/comments:
- Defaulting to the account's "Documents" folder is common practice in Windows applications. You may change file location to any desired folder destination, by using the standard file management dialog box (Figure 1).
- HealthFrame uses Windows' regional settings configurations in support of regional formatting (Figure 2).
- HealthFrame has built-in automatic update support.
If you are interested in previewing personal health record (PHR) products, you may be interested in looking into the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) web site dedicated to PHRs:
www.myphr.com.
Many of our customers have experimented with a number of other PHR products - including the one you identified - and have come to appreciate the quality and depth of HealthFrame's features as well as other benefits, including:
- The ability to download a free evaluation copy of HealthFrame. People who buy HealthFrame do not rely on marketing alone to make their purchase decisions - they make informed decisions based on actual use of the product.
- A direct line of communication with the development and support teams, not to mention other users. This User Community Forum is a publicly accessible forum because we are confident of the quality of our product and thankful to have users who are willing to provide us with their feedback and suggestions for continued improvement. We value the relationship we have with our customers and others interested in becoming more involved in managing their health.
- Extensible product platform (OpenHealth Service plug-ins), which allows us to continually expand HealthFrame's functionality - often at no cost to our customers. A number of PHRs in the market today are in effect 'abandoned' implementations - note for instance the web site source you quote is from a '2004' user manual for a product that has not been updated to consumers since...
If you purchase the competitor's product and you actually have a chance to use it, we would encourage you to post to this forum with your additional thoughts on how you believe the products compare.
Thank you for your interest in HealthFrame and let us know if you have additional questions/suggestions,
Support Team
