"Clearly Part of Family Medicine's Future"
Last update: 7/16/2009 9:32:00 AM
PATERSON, N.J., Jul 16, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cavit Sciences, Inc (CVIT)
and its officers and directors have agreed to launch a new project or
subsidiary company to profit from the growing need for electronic health
records. The new division is to be called "My Healthy Lifestyle HRA."
The company has already made significant progress on the new company
website (see link below) which will provide secure access for all
internet users to something which resembles a high-tech online health
assessment--- a.k.a. Health Risk Assessment [HRA] and a secure Personal
Health Record [PHR/EHR] complete with a Family Tree for gathering and
storing important family health histories.
The whole project is the first of its type to take advantage of the
GoogleHealth online system, with the ability to import health
information directly from GoogleHealth, Google's on-line health
compendium. The results may be accessed by user's approved medical
health professionals or kept completely private.
One consultant who viewed the project commented, "The future of health
care reform is going to be about electronic security and information
assessment. The days of seeing Beaver and Wally go to the little town
doctor for cheap health care are long gone. Health care reform is going
to happen, and it will happen with technology. Cavit has the technology
that could be the key part for the future of healthcare reform, to help
bring affordable health care to everyone. Self screening can be used to
help detect and prevent problems early... this is here to stay and it's
only a matter of time before the industry embraces the new technology."
Health Risk Assessments [HRA's] are the standard evaluation tool used in
every wellness program to both identify any current health issues and
are used to gauge progress for individuals while participating in a
wellness plan. An Electronic Health Record (EHR) is an electronic
version of a patients medical history, that is maintained by the
provider over time, and may include all of the key administrative
clinical data relevant to that persons care under a particular provider,
including demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital
signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and
radiology reports. EHRs are the inevitable next step in the continued
progress of health care that can strengthen the relationship between
patients and clinicians. The data, and the timeliness and availability
of it, will enable providers to make better decisions and provide better
care. According to an article published by William Ventres, MD, MA,
Sarah Kooienga, FNP, and Ryan Marlin, MD, MPH, all members of the
American Academy of Family Physicians [AAFP], "Electronic Health Records
are clearly part of family medicine's future."
Elizabeth Gannon commented, "Mark my words, HRA is here to stay and it's
only going to become more and more popular. We are leading the way with
our integrative website, and intend to stay in this position as web
technology and medical practice continue to grow together."
