MRB centralizes PHR content

Medical Record Bank (MRB) has developed an internet-based digital personal medical record system that collects data from all of an individual's healthcare providers, enabling a patient and authorized providers to access medical records anywhere.

In addition to a patient-labeled and authenticated chronological medical history, the system provides a healthcare diary and a critical health information summary that offers a snapshot of the patient status, according to the Lexington, Mass.-based provider of medical record centralization technology.

The system can be used as a patient portal for EMR installations and in other applications ranging from disease management to insurance fraud detection and prevention, the company added.
