MyMedicalRecords Pro EMR system launched by MMR Information Systems

NewsGuard 100/100 Score

MMR Information Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: MMRF) (the "Company"), which through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. ("MMR"), provides consumer-controlled Personal Health Records ("PHRs") (www.mymedicalrecords.com) and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions (www.myesafedepositbox.com), announced that it has launched its MyMedicalRecords Pro ("MMRPro") product which is designed to help doctors take the first steps towards an EMR system by digitizing medical records and making them available to patients through a patient portal that incorporates the MyMedicalRecords.com Personal Health Record.

MMRPro was originally designed as a scanning and digitization program designed to help doctors get paper records into an electronic format while simultaneously creating a view only PHR for the patient. The patient would then have the opportunity to upgrade to a full-featured paid version of the MyMedicalRecords PHR with revenue being shared with the doctor or healthcare professional. The MMRPro product launch will include Beta sites at up to 50 physician offices.

MMRPro was showcased at the HIMSS Convention in April. Since then the product has been upgraded to work in conjunction with Kodak Capture Pro software and the newly released Kodak Scan Station 520, which combines a scanner, PC and fax center all in one unit. As a result of this integration, MMR has become an Independent Software Vendor Partner of Kodak with the ability to deliver a turnkey professional solution to the doctor in one box.

"What we have done with Kodak is to integrate MMRPro's proprietary patented technologies to work with Kodak Capture Pro Software and the Kodak Scan Station 520. This creates a turnkey solution that digitizes paper medical records and automatically deposits them in patient folders that are indexed to each practice's patient chart system," said Robert H. Lorsch, Chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc. "MMR will distribute and install the MMRPro system in conjunction with Kodak distributors and resellers."

MMRPro was developed by MMR with Nihilent, MMR's technology partner. The system will also include an optional ePrescription module available before its commercial release. When released commercially, the Company believes that it will have created an easy-to-use low cost system for doctors that will meet Meaningful Use criteria.

Lorsch pointed out that the doctors involved in the Beta sites would receive the product free of charge for 90 days. Commercial release of the product will begin in early January 2010.

"We originally saw MMRPro as a gateway to EMRs," Lorsch said. "Now, with the integration with the Kodak Scan Station 520 and the addition of the ePrescribe software, we truly are offering a solution to doctors who want to cost effectively transition into a full-blown EMR service and potentially be eligible to receive some of the $19 billion in Health Care Stimulus Funds that have been set aside by the Obama Administration."
