MedeFile Medical records system compatible with the iPhone

This can be very useful for patients who still belong to paper-based practices.
In the years to come, with the growing adoption of PHR (Personal Health Records), Physician Portals and EHRs this type of off-site storage may not be necessary. SV

Every MedeFile account contains a Digital Health Profile (DHP), which contains information about the member's physicians, Insurance, emergency contacts, medical conditions, medications, allergies, and family history. The member's MedeFile also contains all the records sent by physicians, other healthcare providers and hospitals. A member may also store copies of living wills, healthcare durable power of attorneys, authorizations to treat a minor and organ donor forms along with any other documents you might feel are needed.
