LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire -02/16/12)- MMRGlobal, Inc. (OTC.BB: MMRF.OB - News) ("MMR"), a leading provider of Personal Health Records (PHRs) and electronic document management and imaging systems for healthcare professionals, today announced it is offering new software that will allow hospitals and other clinical facilities to use a Meaningful Use certified solution to instantly make health information available to patients securely over the Internet using the MMRPatientView portal from any EMR system without first having to scan, fax or print any documents. The system was created with MMR by Interbit Data. Interbit Data will demonstrate the capability to use its NetDelivery application to integrate HCIS offerings with the MMR suite for MEDITECH EMR clients at the HIMSS 2012 convention in Las Vegas taking place February 20-24. The Interbit Data-MMR module is already being installed in hospitals and is certified for Meaningful Use with MEDITECH systems. MEDITECH is being used by more than 650 hospitals nationwide. Although the solution is only deployed for MEDITECH at this time, MMR believes that it can work with virtually any EMR platform, which opens up a significant new market opportunity for MMRGlobal.

This joint solution utilizes Interbit Data's NetDelivery with Document Manager application to assemble patient reports from a hospital's healthcare information system (HCIS), and then delivers them securely to MMRPatientView. The one-of-a-kind solution also presents a potential revenue opportunity for hospitals and other healthcare facilities when patients upgrade from MMRPatientView to the full-featured MyMedicalRecords PHR service, which enables patients to maintain copies of their medical records from all their providers in one secure central location and safely access them anytime from anywhere over the Internet. The patient can also designate third parties, such as a caregiver, to have access to their records. In addition, each MyMedicalRecords PHR account can cover up to nine additional family members at no additional cost to the subscriber.

According to Arthur Young, President of Interbit Data, "Through its relationship with Interbit Data, MMR gives providers the ability to seamlessly deploy a patented MyMedicalRecords Personal Health Record from (virtually) any Electronic Medical Record system using a software module and without any additional hardware. So for example, patient discharge records can be shared with the patient without having to physically print, fax or scan them first."

The solution comes with the MMR Stimulus Program, which enables hospitals using the selected EMR systems to integrate the MMRPatientView patient portal as a standalone module and still participate in the MMR Stimulus Program, which can generate hundreds of thousands of dollars each year as patients upgrade to a full-featured MyMedicalRecords PHR.
