I started this blog as an additional avenue to communicate with all the customers, business associates, and friends of me and my business, MedsFile.com.

MedsFile.com Founder, Mark Holland

The primary focus of this blog will be on:

• The latest news and updates on MedsFile.com
• Personal Health Records in general
• The latest news from the medical community (including articles and snippets) that might affect MedsFile.com and its customers
• The ups and downs of entrepreneurship
• …and life!

So sit back, enjoy the ride, and I hope to bring you a modicum of news and entertainment as often as I can. I might even have some special guest authors from time to time!

If you are unfamiliar with MedsFile.com, customers come to our site to build a complete Personal Health Record. A customer can store information about medications, supplements, allergies, insurance, as well as lists of emergency contacts, immunizations, family and medical history, surgeries and procedures, and so much more. The customer decides what information to enter in, and what information (if any) is to be shared between designated family members, caregivers, and physicians.

Doctors and hospitals are pleading with patients to maintain their own up-to-date medical information, but there is no worldwide central medical database shared by all doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, and caregivers. The results of a Physician having limited knowledge of every medication and supplement a patient takes could be the recommendation of drugs which lead to allergic reactions or drug interactions.

Our goal is to assist both patients and doctors. Patients (and their caregivers) can manage their own medical information in order to care for themselves, or even simply to save time in the doctor’s office, or in a hospital. Doctors experience the benefits of limitation of medication errors/interactions, the knowledge that comes from shared medical information with other doctors, and the ability to pull up medical histories and treat patients through MedsFile.com while on a computer or a mobile phone.
