MedeFile International Inc. (OTCBB: MDFI) is revolutionizing the properly earned negative stigma of emergency room waiting times. The company has designed a solution focused on the preparation and readiness of important medical information dire to timely and proper care.
MedeFile gathers and stores copies of a member’s medical records and consolidates them into an easily accessible digital format, available around the clock, 365 days a year from anywhere in the world. The information is transferred through a highly secured environment, maintaining the patients right to confidentiality.
Guy Lindauer, firefighter and paramedic, has dealt with fire and emergency medical services for nearly 20 years; having accurate information at his fingertips when needed is imperative to any emergency scene.
“Many times we arrive and patients are in bad or critical condition, they may be unconscious and if there aren’t any bystanders to give us any information it can really provide for a bad scene. With MedeFile, all we need is a computer and we can access this information to give you a base life history on a patient’s condition. They may have a cardiac condition that we may need to know about, they may have a previous trauma that we may need to know about; and as well as allergies. We carry many medications, over 30 medications and some of these medications patients may be allergic to, and that’s something that we really need to know about,” Lindauer stated in a MedeFile testimonial.
Brian Bernick, MD Obstetrics and Gynecology, a MedeFile member, witnessed firsthand the terrors of Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath and the “chaos” that came with each patient as he tried to determine their identities, allergies, doses or previous medical conditions. He suggests that having those patients’ files on hand could have maximized care and timeliness.
“Had those patients been subscribers to the MedeFile we would’ve been able to instantaneously maximize their care. I think this technology is applicable to any patient of any age whether it is a child keeping track of their medication, immunization history to the most elderly patient keeping track of their life long history of medications, surgeries, any medical history that they might have, and I think that this is an opportunity of a life time for a patient to be in charge and maintain their medical records,” Bernick stated.
