Do you have access to them at home?”

5 years ago that dialog ended in blank stare when I mentioned the phrase PHR. During past 12-24 months the term is breaking into various households. I suspect it will be mainstream in another 12-18 months during family gathering in various demographics of Stateside families.

To further underscore my faith in the PHR / EMR integration and simplification, business partners and myself founded a startup company and over the past 2 years have deployed a FREE online PHR. Visit http://www.WorldMedCard.com and let me know your thoughts.

Cheers!
