ATLANTA (August 1, 2009) - Atlanta-based MedsFile.com announced today that it will integrate the IGI ORBIT® platform to power their enhanced Personal Health Record. IGI’s ORBIT® will enhance the ability for MedsFile subscribers to easily and securely exchange their medical information with their health care providers and other key stakeholders within their health care community, such as pharmacies, labs and health insurance plans. By participating in this new service, patients will empowered to: transport their PHR information anywhere and at anytime; control what information is shared and with whom; improve communication with physicians, pharmacists, care givers and loved ones; and make better, more informed health care decisions — before, during, and after the point of care.

MedsFile’s Personal Health Record allows subscribers to enter vital personal health information, such as immunization and allergy information into a HIPAA compliant repository. The new integrated version utilizes the IGI ORBIT® platform to allow for portability and secure data exchange with other industry aggregated sources, such as immunization registries and claims data sources. Data exchange will follow federal guidelines for interoperability among other facilities and care providers. Registration for the online service is quick and easy and can occur in a matter of minutes with subscription costs around $9.99 to $14.99 a month for a typical plan. MedsFile’s PHR can be accessed, added to, or printed from the Web anytime, anywhere.

MedsFile was founded in 2004 by CIO Mark Holland as a way for consumers to begin to take charge of collecting and managing their own personal and family health information as the medical community seeks out an agreement on a common method and platform for tracking and exchanging health information. “With the IGI ORBIT® integration, MedsFile’s PHR can now act as that common platform,” Holland says, “and an engine that powers smarter, better delivery of health care services initiated by both the patient and the practitioner. Consumers will be able to come to our site, grant permission for us to gather their medical data, and subsequently view their medical records online like a credit report. It’s revolutionary.”

“Providing the secure portability and interoperability of Personal Health Records is a top priority in the industry,” said Arthur Kapoor, CEO of IGI Health. “By integrating the power of IGI’s ORBIT® platform, MedsFile will be able to offer premium interoperable service to their client base and IGI is proud to work with a team that is dedicated to improving the lives of patients.”
