PassportMD
PassportMD is a leading provider in the consumer-directed healthcare and personal health records (PHR) industry. Remaining committed to a goal of “Independent family wellness”, PassportMD helps individuals keep track of all facets of their family’s health and wellness including personal health records and documentation, doctor communication, pharmacy and expenses. Medicare has selected PassportMD to provide Personal Health Records for Medicare Beneficiaries and was one of only four vendors to participate in a PHR pilot program for Medicare.
PassportMD wanted to take online Personal Health Record technology to the next level by providing their users more than just the ability to manually enter or scan in their medical records.
Doctor Connector & MyFax API Integration
PassportMD wanted to make finding your doctor a snap. Teaming with Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO), PassportMD was able to offer its users an AJAX searchable directory of doctors by name, city, state, zip and/or specialty. Implementing an AJAX “live” search allowed users to see a dynamic list of most likely candidates as they entered their data into the search criteria. Once a doctor was found, users could choose to send an automatic fax request (via MyFax’s API) for medical records, along with barcoded cover sheet. Doctors simply faxed back all medical records and the system would use the barcode to associate the request with a user and store the scanned copies of the user’s medical database in the system automatically.
eHealth Viewer Integration
Even though users could seamlessly send doctor record requests easily, there was one problem – you can’t fax X-Rays or Medical Resonance Image (MRI’s). To this end, we integrated eHealth Global Technologies’ eHealth Viewer. eHealthViewer is a small, lightweight client that provides highly secure, high-speed image viewing over most networks, including wireless and across firewalls. In addition to viewing full-resolution diagnostic-quality images, it offers 3-D image rendering and multi-planar reformats (MPR). Users can also view full radiology reports in conjunction with the corresponding diagnostic image(s), even on handheld devices.
Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO) Medical Data Integration
PassportMD wanted to be a one-stop shop for all medical consumer-directed healthcare and personal health records. To this end, we integrated IMO’s extensive medical database of 180,000-plus terms, synonyms, acronyms, eponyms, abbreviations and even common misspellings of medical conditions to help users better find the appropriate terms they need. This allowed users to create their own medical records based on medical conditions, doctors, vaccinations, allergies, medications, procedures and surgeries. User experience was essential in helping encourage users to enter their historical medical items. All entries were done with an AJAX live search which pre-populated the most likely matches as users entered their various search criteria.
MyReminderRX (Jaduka Integration)
In keeping with their goal of independent family wellness, PassportMD created MyReminderRX so users could set automatic phone call reminders for themselves and loved ones. By integrating with Jaduka’s API, users could enter a phone number to call, choose from a few pre-recorded voice messages or record their own and set a one-time or recurring call schedule that would call the designated number and play the reminder.
