Just the Begining

This is just the beginning.

Communication is the key to creating a successful relationship in any situation. This especially true between primary care physicians and their patients. Yet,the current health care system makes it difficult for patients and physicians to communicate on a regular basis without significantly increasing costs. In response to this, mypmd.com will be available to the public within the next couple of months.

mypmd.com allows the physician and patient to communicate through a web based source on a regular basis allowing them to discuss medical concerns, treatment management, education, and prevention. The patient will also be able to view physician notes, schedule appointments, and request prescription refills with the providers office. Other tools and resources will be available to the patient such as a health tracker where patients can enter health data and track their progress in several different areas.

Most importantly, it encourages the patient to become active in their own health care decisions and choices. They will be able to create and monitor their own healthcare profile. The patient profile goes above and beyond a medical record, let's face it we are more than our medical history. The profile can include everything about the patient and their health lifestyle including: background, interest, future goals, diet programs, alternative medical ideals,physical training programs, opinions and more.

Creating a profile of who the patient is, above and beyond their medical history, develops a better relationship between them and their primary care provider. The provider will know more about the patient and can treat them as the individual person that they are. Instead of the battle between provider and patient they can now work together as a team to ensure the highest possible health care outcomes without significantly increasing cost.

Look for mypmd.com to get involved and take charge of what is going on in healthcare.
