Users can select which language they want the service presented, either on the home page or via their account profile, and all captions, labels and text on the site will instantaneously change. “This new multilingual feature, the first of its kind in a Personal Health Record, gives our users the safety, convenience and universal portability of their MyMedicalRecords.com account when they are traveling. Now, in the event of an emergency, local medical personnel can access a user’s emergency folders in the language they understand,” said Robert H. Lorsch, MyMedicalRecords.com Chairman and CEO. “In addition, the new service allows the company to meet the multilingual needs of diverse communities throughout the United States. MyMedicalRecords.com plans to expand its language offerings in the near future to include Korean, French, German and Chinese.” Lorsch co-founded the company with Russell Armstrong in 2005 to offer a consumercentric product that empowers individuals and their families to have greater control over the medical records normally maintained in their doctors’ offices along with other important documents such as advanced directives, insurance policies, birth certificates and emergency photos of children, pets and personal property. They can then be available instantly from any Internet-connected computer anywhere in the world. MyMedicalRecords.com is available direct to consumers through its Web site, www.mymedicalrecords.com and via numerous benefit programs offered by major corporations, affinity organizations and unions. “MyMedicalRecords.com quickly and efficiently moves patient records from a doctor’s office into a private and secure online account so that the individual has it whenever and wherever they need it – in an emergency, when traveling, when changing doctors, and when changing jobs. Anyone who knows how to use a fax machine and the Internet can easily have access to the service,” Lorsch explained. “MyMedicalRecords.com is really a medical passport for life that follows the user anywhere he or she goes.” In addition to offering multiple language capability, the new MyMedicalRecords.com platform also offers these additional exclusive product features:
