Email and Fax Capabilities, Community Forums Now Available

Just-released capabilities on myNDMA.com further increase the portability of patient records. Members can preselect data and records from their personal locker and securely email and fax that information directly to their healthcare provider or other interested party.

"Today's transient consumer demands portability of his/her personal health information - students attend universities far away from their homes, career changes often move professionals coast-to-coast, the aging population is traveling more and retiring to warmer climates, severe weather can necessitate temporary relocation - the list is endless," explains Diane Hockstein, NDMA Vice President of Marketing. "Couple that with the increasing empowerment of patients in their own healthcare management, and the need for on-demand access to personal health information is clear."

Additionally, an online Community Forum (https://www.myndma.com/myndma-forum/forums/list.page) is now available for consumers to have a voice in the direction of personal health records. Here, patients can discuss health issues, ask questions about patient rights and freely discuss personal health records and other health issues.

Addressing privacy concerns

As reported in the NBC Nightly News segment, consumers looking to gather and document their health information online are concerned about the privacy of that information. myNDMA.com provides patients with the same secure technology used by their physicians to store, manage and distribute digital medical images and electronic medical records, namely, the National Digital Medical Archive.

"We provide a level of security and data encryption that ensures every site visitor is connecting at the most secure level possible," says Derek Danois, NDMA President, "because security and privacy are of paramount importance."
