"We have been searching for the most relevant content that championsconsumers for our 10-part series we're producing on 'Baby Boomer Health' --with one of the key segments focusing on Electronic Medical Records," statedVision Media's CFO, Mark Miller. Additionally, Miller explained, "Theprevailing problem with most EMR systems is that they are geared for thehealthcare professional, not the consumer. Consequently and not surprisingly,these systems are usually focused on billing, rather than a simple, multi-functional way for a consumer to manage his or her own personal information.We believe that the MedeFile solution represents a notable, breakthroughconcept that finally empowers the consumer."
