2) How do you
distribute the reader of the files that your software creates?
a. It appears to
create a file of a proprietary nature that requires your reader. How does
that help me make my medical records available to a health care provider,
unless it is by paper?
b. Your web site
discusses IT standards for PHR’s How do I find out if my providers use
that same standard?
2. HealthFrame Lite Edition (the 'reader') can be freely downloaded from our website http://www.recordsforliving.com/ProductsAndServices/HealthFrameEditions/HealthFrameLiteEdition.aspx
a. HealthFrame supports a number of different mechanisms that you can use to share your medical records with your health provider:
- You can export HealthFrame to an industry standard format known as the ASTM Continuity of Care Record. This is an electronic, XML-based industry standard that is supported by a number of electronic health record vendors (the software used by health providers).
- You can export the contents from your PHR onto an iPod and allow your provider to view your records.
- You can print any number of reports available in HealthFrame and share those with your providers.
- If your provider has access to the internet, he/she can access your clinical records via CCR-compliant intermediaries, such as MedCommons, via the CXP (Commons eXchange Protocol) protocol.
b. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) maintains a listing of products that support CCR
http://www.centerforhit.org/x2022.xml You can ask your providers if they use any of the compliant products.
