LOS ANGELES and SUNNYVALE, Calif., June
18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTC: MMRF) and
Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., the market leader in
document imaging scanners, announced today a strategic alignment to
assist physicians in smaller practices to efficiently digitize
their medical records and comply with the Health Information
Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act's
meaningful use requirement to provide patients timely online access
to their medical records by the end of 2014.
To help physicians convert from paper-based record-keeping to
computerized health records, MMRPro, MMRGlobal's premiere scanning
and Web-based document management technology, is now integrated
with the Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner. Utilizing a
proprietary interface created by DocuFi™, the document imaging
solution offers smaller physician offices, community hospitals and
surgery centers the ability to digitize, store, manage and share
medical records without making the significant investment required
while transitioning to a full-blown EMR system. MMRPro is also
designed with an integrated patient portal, MMRPatientView, and
includes the MMR Stimulus Program, which allows doctors the
opportunity to earn administrative reimbursements when their
patients upgrade from the free portal to a full-featured patented
MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record.
"Deploying our network scanning strategy for healthcare
providers is seamless to the way an office operates with paper.
Additionally, the learning curve to scan, archive and share
documents across a physician's office or in a small hospital is
minimal," said Marni Carmichael,
director of business development, Fujitsu Computer Products of
America, Inc. "We're excited to be a part of offering MMRPro to
physicians to help them cost-effectively transition from paper to
electronic records to improve their overall workflow and patient
care."
"Fujitsu has a history of providing quality document imaging
solutions to its customers," said Robert H.
Lorsch, MMRGlobal Chairman and CEO. "The integration of our
patented document imaging system provides physician offices with
the necessary tools to easily and affordably digitize their
documents in an electronic format and have the ability to securely
access patient records remotely using an Internet-connected device,
including their iPad."
The Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner is designed to
simplify document collaboration for all types of organizations,
including small and midsize businesses (SMBs), groups within an
enterprise and across the front office to the back office. The
latest network scanner added to the award-winning line of Fujitsu
ScanSnap scanning solutions offers new tools to make digitizing
documents simple and specialized training unnecessary, enhanced
security features to combat the threat of data compromise, and
added flexibility to easily create customizable interface screens
for a consistent user experience.
"Our relationship with MMRGlobal and Fujitsu brings a highly
automated solution to the patient records management world using
ImageRamp™ for MMRGlobal," said Dave
Wilson, president and CEO of DocuFi. "ImageRamp enables
touch screen use of the Fujitsu ScanSnap N1800 Network Scanner to
provide intelligent reading and xml formatting of patient medical
records, stored in 2-D barcode form. Users of any skill level can
now easily capture medical records into a cloud or SaaS EMR
infrastructure."
