MMRGlobal Takes To The Airwaves Again
Posted by MyMedicalRecords | Filed under Personal Health
I like hearing from our stockholders and others interested in the Company. One individual who writes me on occasion and regularly writes about the Company under the “handle” Threeflight, sent me the following on Monday this week:
“Bob, I want you to know I think that overall, you have done a wonderful job there at MMRF. You are probably the CEO I respect the most of any OTC CEO I know, and for sure you are in the top echelon of all CEO’s I know, including the big board CEO’s. I sincerely mean that. Same goes for you as a person. I would consider it a privilege to buy you a beer and talk about the wonderfulness that is MMRF. Best of luck.”
Although his comments are greatly appreciated I realize that Threeflight may not agree with all my decisions. However it’s hard work building a company from the ground up in this difficult economic time. Meanwhile we are fortunate to be in a space where our Personal Health Records products could become a way of life as Obamacare rolls out over the next several years.
Today we will announce that we are expanding our advertising and promotion activities not only on TV, in tonight’s Hallmark Channel Special “The Spirit of Mississippi,” telecast at 6 pm, EST, and during the Labor Day weekend we will have launched a Listener Loyalty Radio Program with Clear Channel Communications to 75% of the 18+ U.S. population, via more than 800 radio stations reaching more than 97 million listeners every week. Listeners will be directed to MMR’s website to take advantage of the Company’s end of summer Labor Day promotion of a 30-day trial offer and $25 toward a new subscriber’s next visit with their doctor (www.mmrvideos.com).
Clearly, promotions and advertising take money, which has a lot to do with the decisions management makes on a daily basis. Without access to capital a Company simply cannot grow and compete in a competitive marketplace. If you still have not signed up for your own Personal Health Record, this would be an ideal time. So visit MyMedicalRecords at www.mymedicalrecords.com and “Listen Up”, as they say, and thank you for your interest in and support of MMRGlobal.com. Happy Labor Day!

You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true.

I see from newspaper reports that some 35 million Americans will be going on the road this summer. Americans traditionally do that – usually it’s for well-deserved leisure vacations. But as the CEO of MMRGlobal, a company in the midst of the largest transformation of health care in America’s history, my travels will be less leisure as I spend next week in Chicago, Rochester and New York.
The Company’s management team and I will be in Chicago for the first
on-site presentation of MMRPro to Alexian Health Systems, which could represent the first hospital endorsed introduction of MMRPro.
From Chicago, both the MMRGlobal Management team and Kodak’s management team will meet in Rochester for a full day summit, where we expect to announce a private-label version of MMRPro, (www.MMRMDVideos.com) incorporating a yet to be announced upgraded Version of Capture Pro. This is designed to insure much more involvement from the Kodak dealer and distributor sales organization.
Rich Teich and I will then move on to New York for two tracks of meetings. Rich will meet with the Chartis domestic marketing team and I will meet with Chartis executives on the plans for rolling out international after the summer break. This will be a very exciting trip because none of the Chartis domestic units are part of the Company’s existing agreement.
Then it’s back to Los Angeles where we will spend the last half of the month moving into MMRGlobal’s new corporate office which will take up a full floor in the Mid-Wilshire financial Center of Los Angeles.
At the same time, the Company will launch the new MyESafeDepositBox which can be seen at www.chartisesafe.com. Once that product gets released in August it will begin the deployment of the Chartis brand worldwide.
Yes, it will be hot in Chicago, Rochester and New York City, but not as hot as it will be in Washington, D.C., when congress returns from their annual vacation to tackle the Obama Administration’s massive restructuring of America’s health care. As MMRPro takes off and starts to run itself through the Kodak sales Force, I intend to lay the groundwork with our various advisors so that their representation in our nation’s capitol, can efficiently and quickly respond to questions returning lawmakers may have, or to provide them with additional information they may need during what promises to be a very hot election cycle.
There won’t be much time to settle in to the new offices since preliminary plans are to launch in India this fall while we begin to build out our data center in China. This is an exciting time for MMRGlobal, as government agencies; corporations large and small, physicians, medical groups and hospitals, and consumers become more focused on Electronic and Personal Health Records. You are never given a wish without being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however.

Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.

Being CEO of MMRGlobal (or any public Company) can be one of the loneliest jobs in the world. I am forced to make decisions on a daily basis that are based on my experience and what I often refer to as my “natural knowing”.
There is a sign that follows me everywhere which says “To Be Average scares The Hell Out Of Me”, so I have the self- imposed pressure of being anything but average and caring about all the people that are somehow connected to my life.
I share the emotional highs and emotional lows of all the people in my life. That may sound unusual to some of you; however when a person cares, they share in the excitement and enthusiasm of everyday life and, in my case that includes MMRGlobal and all of you. That also includes the frustration and sometimes disappointment when things “appear” not to be going the way we all want them to.
However, there are only 2 options in life, the first to allow the frustration and disappointment to take control of our actions, or to place one foot in front of another and push forward at 110%, embracing every moment with excitement and enthusiasm and optimism.
I choose the latter. That’s why this week, like all weeks since MyMedicalRecords.com was founded nearly 5 years ago, the machine and Bob Lorsch keep churning forward.
Sales of MMRPro (www.mmrmdvideos.com) are poised to receive a tremendous boost from the clarity of Meaningful Use, announced this week. The attention to our products by physicians is greater than ever and although we are not an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) in the literal sense, we are the easiest, most user-friendly first step to deployment of an EMR in the physician’s office.
MMRPro represents the first step for any health care professional in deploying an EMR. And the MMR Stimulus program represents double (or more) the stimulus to physicians when compared to any government program offered during the first 3 years of use.
And after the first 3 years MMR’s stimulus rebates increase by an estimated 25% a year (or more) for as long as the system is deployed in a physician’s office. In fact, an average small group practice with 2.5 practicing physicians could easily receive as much as $200,000 per year in MMR stimulus after the first 5 years of use for as long as they continue to use the MMRPatientView module.
I have suggested over the last several years that having a personal health record will be as important as having a credit report. The Meaningful Use criteria means MMR can become the TRW of Personal Health Records.
We are the best and most user-friendly personal health record available on the direct to consumer market today. If you haven’t already done so, open an account today. It takes just minutes and it’s free for 30days, so find out for yourself. Go to www.mymedicalrecords.com and sign up with the registration code EMMY.
Also, to take advantage of “Back To School” and students who will need checkups, the Company will launch its first “Cash Refund” promotion later this month. “Put the Future of Your Health at Work Today with $25 Toward Your Next Check-Up or Doctor Visit”. It’s designed to encourage good health and a product trial with a usage call to action. Millions of consumers will see our Commercials online. See it for yourself at www.mmrontv.com.
When they respond, they will be offered a trial program, which includes a cash refund of $25.00 for opening a test account, and placing a medical record in their account. The program is designed to shake up the industry and get people to use the product during their trial period.
And if all that does not keep me busy this week, I continue to focus on institutional investors, platform development, M&A opportunities, the litigation with LRF (which can represent a tremendous win for shareholders when you see the billions of dollars of valuation recently added to Dendreon), the launch of Esafe, and my marriage (the latter of which is the most joyful).
And speaking of Esafe (www.myesafevideos.com), the Company will soon preview its first ESafe television campaign, featuring a series regular from “The Event”, coming September 20th, on NBC-TV.
I started out this blog with this quote from the book “Illusions”, ‘Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you.’
What I choose to do with my time at MMRGlobal is continue to work on building shareholder value by positioning MMRGlobal as a worldwide provider of Health Information Technologies for Health Care Professionals and consumers.
So what can you “Choose To Do?” Try the product (if you haven’t already), tell everyone you know about this Company and what a great opportunity it can represent for managing their family’s health, and ultimately its shareholders.
