Dr. Stan Shepherd, CEO of the Personal Care Record Company, is a family physician in London whose software combines and automates evidence-based medicine, traditional EHR technology, and patient generated data to create what he calls a “dynamic personal health record.”
According to Dr. Shepherd, current evidence based EHRs have great value but are underutilized for a few reasons. First, most are generic and not individual patient-focused. Most EHRs are also passive documents that require active searches, and they do not automatically combine patient data with guidelines to formulate individual care plans, nor do they involve patient-generated data.
Shepherd’s physician and patient-oriented approach to EHRs is designed to overcome these problems by:
The system is designed to be downloaded by patients as a mobile app, and is expected to be of particular interest to the insurance industry and health networks. “We are a new layer in the game, interacting with the EHR as a resource for data, and as a hopper into which we put automated information, but fundamentally we are a personal care company,” he says.
Dr. Hochron co-founded and is the Chief Medical Officer of Practice Unite, a mobile solution that improves healthcare communications and provides healthcare systems with a platform for their mobile strategy. His approach to coordinating care using customized, integrated mHealth tools has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, HIMSS Media, the Journal of the Healthcare Financial Management Association, MedCityNews, MedTechBoston, and by American College of Healthcare Executives and the New York eHealth Collaborative. Dr. Hochron’s approaches to mHealth integration are used throughout the care continuum to coordinate acute care, post-discharge care, and to monitor and manage long-term care.Hochron has more than 25 years of experience advising and working with healthcare systems and providers in his roles as a practicing physician and healthcare attorney. He received his MD degree from New York Medical College, and his JD degree from Rutgers Law School. He is a Clinical Professor in the Department of Medicine at UMDNJ-Rutgers medical school.

Of course, you may like to move some of the good ones to your new
house but what about the rustic ones. Even homeowners who
would otherwise be in the market to trade their present homes for larger living spaces are often tied down by underwater mortgages.
