Jobs & Workforce 2009 & Beyond

Very interesting review by the TiVo company HR team....
How dynamic and collaborative are your Health Records? Are they recorded and playable like TiVO !

Portable medical records for your Scholastic Athlete?

As my son applies to Universities during next few weeks, I get that sense of combined euphoria and angst. Pride mixed with fear on many levels. Some factors we as parents can keep within boundaries.

Others elements of college years were set in motion from actions and decisions we took for our kids 15 years ago! Whether that be setting good examples, signing up for perfect daycare program or investing a chunk of $$ into 'safe' mutual fund trying to offset the astronomical cost of Engineering schools.

However, I am very comfortable on one aspect as my two elder children have transitioned to past this milestone. A medical record, in electronic format has been created by us, the parents, that they as ADULTS will carry through out all phases of life.

All this being said, it does not alter any emotions as your son/daughter is on recieving end of intense tackle during the BIG game

To summarise, I feel there are 4 major influences which will help patients to regain control over their healthcare.

1. Patients will keep their own medical records using a PHR ( Personal Health Record)

2. Information Therapy can be prescribed to them, tailored to their needs, based on their medical problems captured in the PHR

3. Web 2.0 technologies will allow them to form social communities to help and support each other

4. We can deliver this information to them 24/7 through their mobile, wherever they maybe, whenever they need it !

Is your Employer Offering a PHR? Who owns the PHR when you embark to a NEW employer?

Corporate `Covered wagons` are rounding up in hoards to offer `us` a solution for PHR. We are truly all looking into a new frontier, much like the wild west of long ago. With that in mind, what happens when you move from one settlement to the next land of promise?

1. How many of us will have just ONE employer during the next 10 years?
2. When you change jobs, what happens to all that good PHR data?
3. Does your employer have a multi generation PHR enhancement plan?
4. Is there a “chain of trust” between you and the company that issues your paycheck from Medical perspective?
5. What happens when / if that link of trust is broken.....
   

I offer this alternate, secure, LIFETIME solution with YOU in control, not your employer:
Register for WorldMedCard

We never plan to be sick or hospitalized, however 30 minutes to collect your records right now could be priceless when the unplanned does occur.

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2008 with prosperity, good health and time to get organized... with personal Health records that is =)
