Eric Evans, COO Lake Pointe Medical Center Rowlett, Texas

Eric Evans, Chief Operating Officer of Lake Pointe Medical Center Rowlett, TX,  was equally enthusiastic.  "Right now, there is a strong movement to empower patients and provide them with access to their medical information -- their medical information.  That is the essence of consumer-driven healthcare.  The Internet-age market has responded with a host of electronic health record portals for patients to build and control their medical records.  However, the problem with the model has been the inability for the providers to access that information during the delivery of services.  Patients have spent time collecting records, but have no efficient means to distribute that information.”  What the LifeMed platform provides is a bridge by which the patient-developed information can be easily utilized by the physicians and hospitals.  With LifeMed, hospitals are able to utilize their existing data networks and allow patient information to flow into their systems, thereby creating a more complete and more accurate medical picture of that patient.
