MedeFile International, Inc. (MDFI.OB) - A Medical Technology Whose Time has Finally Come Imagine for a minute that you are driving one of the late-model, high end cars, and you are far, far from home. Your dashboard light comes on suggesting that you need someone to take a look at the emissions control devices, so you take it to the nearest local dealership. Once there, the technician hooks up a computer junction to a plug under the steering wheel. In a matter of seconds, everything that’s ever been done to that car, along with its “vital signs,” is displayed. All the oil changes, all the filter changes, all the replacement parts, the poorly firing 3rd cylinder before the spark plug change. Everything. Yet, until now, that very same “nationwide” monitoring ability wasn’t available for the most intricate machine on earth; the human body. Each day, regardless of the time of day or the location on the planet, some hospital, dentist or doctor’s office is creating patient records. From blood pressures to medicines given, from x-rays to tests ordered. Yet, almost unbelievably, there’s been no consumer-oriented way of keeping track of all this data. Worse, there’s been no cohesive manner for one doctor or hospital to see any histories created by earlier doctors and specialists. Most of the software created for the healthcare business revolves around the caregiver and is focused more on billing, insurances, etc. Almost none have been created to give a consumer a timeline-based logarithm of their medical history. But now all that’s changed, and it could not have come a day too soon. MedeFile International, Inc., which trades under the symbol MDFI, has developed a proprietary membership system for gathering and digitizing medical records so that individuals can have a secure and comprehensive record of all of their medical visits. Regardless of the records’ form, they digitize them, index them, encrypt them and put them into the “MedeVault”, a highly secure, encrypted and confidential digital storage repository which is the heart of the MedeFile System. Those records then become instantly accessible to the member. But that’s just the technical side of it. It’s the functionality that makes this so stunning. Members may access their records online, then have them sent anywhere they please or download them to their “MedeDrive,” a patent-pending, USB device that members can use to carry their medical records with them at all times. Access to the information within a member’s account is determined solely by them — they may grant or rescind access to anyone they wish, or keep it entirely to themselves. With this system, the possibilities are virtually endless. Rounding out the MedeVault and the MedeDrive is the MedeMobile. This technology enables the user to access, fax, and distribute their medical information from anywhere at any time, simply by using an Internet-capable cell phone or PDA device. If our cars are able to tell mechanics what’s been done to them no matter where the car travels, it stands to reason that we should have the same capability, and now we do. As the population becomes more and more aware of the need to take more control of their own healthcare, the demand for such an asset to personal healthcare will grow, and MedeFile stands ready to meet the demand. This is truly a system whose time has come. Please see disclaimer on QualityStocks.net website: http://Disclaimer.QualityStocks.net

MedeFile International, Inc. (MDFI.OB) - Helping to Lower the Cost of Medical Care One of the biggest expenses to the consumer, and to business as a whole, is healthcare. With an aging population, and skyrocketing costs, business is struggling to provide healthcare to its employees, and consumers are feeling the pinch through higher co-pays and reduced services. According to the Health Services Alliance, medical costs are rising 8 to 12% per year, with no end in sight, leaving cash strapped consumers in a bind. Yet MedeFile International, Inc. (trading under the symbol MDFI) has a series of products that can bring down a significant portion of these expenses. It’s called the Medefile system. MedeFile is a proprietary system for gathering and digitizing medical records so that individuals can have a complete and comprehensive record of all their medical history. Then, by securely controlling who is allowed to view these records, a member to their service can present their healthcare professional a complete history of all their past tests, exams, x-rays, and results. Not only can they access these records securely and from virtually anywhere in the world, but this product is the first of its kind to focus on the consumer instead of the healthcare provider. The implications for cost cutting and money savings are enormous. Each and every day, there is a test performed on someone who just had that very same test done recently enough to be valid. Because there’s been no cohesive and logical way for a consumer to keep track of all their tests, results, X-ray analysis, blood profiles, etc, doctors are forced to simply re-order the whole litany again. This is double testing, and although there are no exact figures available, Doctors at Human Health and Services said that “the costs of double testing run into the tens of millions per year”. Imagine instead, a patient is sent to a specialist for a particular problem, and he brings along his “MedeDrive”, a patent-pending USB device that members can use to carry their medical records with them at all times. The patient hands the doctor the tiny drive unit, and - because there is no software to load and no installation of any kind - the self-contained program on the MedeDrive fires up instantly on the doctors PC, displaying the patient’s entire medical history, from tests run on blood work, to lipid levels, to heart and brain wave function, to the actual rendering of opinions by the previous healthcare provider. Instantly the doctor has a much more defined medical profile to work with, and also knows exactly what testing needs to be ordered. No more “shotgun” approaches. This is even more evident in the ambulance and emergency room arena. Often healthcare professionals and first responders come upon accident victims that are unable to answer questions concerning their allergies or medicines they may be on. With a MedeFile membership, the emergency room personnel can access the generic “work up” page that simply lists blood types, allergies, known medical conditions etc., giving them important information necessary to properly treat their patient without actually allowing them to see any personal medical history the patient might not be willing to share. With MedeFile, the patient/member has total control over who sees what information. It’s simply not a question of whether MedeFile Inc. will help medical providers give better healthcare to their patients that have a MedeFile membership. That’s a given, simply by virtue of allowing the doctor to see the entirety of a patient’s medical history in one cohesive, encompassing collection. But the added benefit of cutting down on “tens of millions” of dollars worth of double testing per year makes this a very attractive solution to a very old problem. Increasing healthcare efficiency and cutting costs at the same time? This is truly a technology that’s time has come, and not a moment too soon.

MedeFile, Inc. (MDFI.OB) - Endorsed By Hayes Laboratory

According to a recent announcement, MedeFile’s portable electronic medical record storage solutions’ cheering section just got a lot larger. The company signed a strategic marketing agreement with Hayes Clinical Laboratory, one of the largest independent testing facilities in Florida.

Each year, through its five South Florida locations, Hayes Labs administers full-service medical testing to over 180,000 patients. The majority of these recipients are referred by Hayes’ extensive client base of nearly 500 healthcare practitioners. Hayes has expressed its interest in the MedeFile system, hoping to combat testing redundancy, which can occur when accurate track of a patient’s record is not kept. This, of course, leads to financial strain on laboratories and patients alike. Hayes has agreed to offer MedeFile’s product to its patients, as well as actively encourage referring physicians to adopt the cost-cutting system.

Milton Hauser, Chairmain and CEO of MedeFile stated, “MedeFile is on a mission to educate the nation’s healthcare community on the fact that centralizing actual medical records with the patient is the key to achieving real, positive change to the U.S. healthcare delivery system. By winning the support of respected medical institutions and providers, such as Hayes Labs, we are succeeding in helping others to realize and appreciate the many important convenience, care-enhancing and cost-saving benefits made possible with the MedeFile solution.”

MedeFile International Inc. (MDFI.OB) Receives Media Coverage from ZDNet.com

Medefile International Inc. received praise and was even referred to as a doctor’s “secret high-tech weapon” in a recent article published on ZDNet.com. The article was written by Dana Blankenhorn, a business journalist with thirty years experience. The article is based on a conversation with Dr. Lorne Stitsky, who runs a Personal Choice Family Practice in Juniper, Florida.

Dr. Stitsky’s practice currently services 200 patients, with the anticipation of an additional 200. Keeping medical records and histories for all of these patients might seem like a mighty task, but with the help of MedeFile, it is a breeze for Dr. Stitsky and he isn’t afraid to admit it. He has his patients take advantage of a small device called a Mededrive, which is a very secure USB memory stick that stores the full medical records of each patient. All of these individual memory sticks are stored securely on a larger remote hard drive, called the Medevault, which can save physicians hundreds of cubic feet of file storage.

Milt Hauser, the CEO of Cedar Knolls, New Jersey-based MedeFile insists that his technology is better than any sort of medical record storage system out on the market. The main advantage is the personal security that Medefile offers. Hauser further elaborated on this security by saying, “…if you try to access it three times with improper security it wipes out the drive. It’s got password and user-name protection. If you’re unconscious, someone can pop this into the laptop, and an emergency screen comes up which the EMS can access. It’s just the information they need to get you stable and transported. Go beyond that and it’s user name and password.”
