In 1999, ER Card launched the first patient-centric electronic personal health record (ePHR) of its kind. Combining technology with “hands on” health care, the ER Card leads a national trend in health care to improve access to medical records and give patients more control over their personal medical information.
ER Card technology allows doctors and other professional caregivers to have immediate access by web, phone or fax to a patient’s comprehensive health history. This dramatically improves clinical outcomes for patients, efficiency of care for providers and financial outcomes for payers.
In 2007, the health care investment group, Angel Health Strategies LLC joined ER Card to help further develop its base operations in Rhode Island and expand on a national basis.
As an independent, unbiased, trusted source of information, the ER Card empowers consumers to manage and control their personal health information, providing security and peace of mind for themselves and their families.
