Another updated video on the interface, again it would be nice to have the same visuals at every hospital and perhaps doctor’s offices with the existing programs still running in the background, only the user interface would need to change. This video takes a little extra time to walk through the...

Very nice hospitals putting the effort in to helping patients learn how to use a personal health records, in this case, HeatlhVault from Microsoft. Just created one for my mother last evening and we plan to sign up in the next few days for the $9.00 a year fax service where any item can be faxed...

I finally had time to take a look around in detail at some of the new features. The one that is very simple for anyone is the $9.00 a year fax service.
