MMR Information to Enter into Definitive Agreement with UNIS in China

MMR Information Systems Inc. and Unis-Tonghe Technology (Zhengzhou) Co. Ltd (UNIS), have entered into a definitive agreement to form a joint venture to build a customized version of MMR's proprietary personal health record (PHR) services and professional document imaging and management solutions in China. As part of the agreement, MMR's technology will support a UNIS medical records development project for China's 18,000 public hospital system and as many as 10,000 selected private hospitals throughout the country. China does not currently have a method of electronically acquiring, storing or transporting individual health records. "China is embarking on the greatest healthcare reform in its modern history," said Robert H. Lorsch, chairman and CEO of MMR Information Systems, Inc in a release. Lorsch said the country will spend 180 billion RMB to create a fully electronic predictive health information network, including a Chinese version of MMR's popular Personal Health Record, integration of MMRPro and wellness tools to be available throughout the country. He said there are as many as 28,000 hospitals in China's 4,000 cities that do not have systems that talk to one another. By giving the Chinese population a copy of their own Personal Health Record, it helps ensure that anyone going to any hospital has the information necessary to obtain the best possible care, said Lorsch. MMR officials said that the company and UNIS are currently assembling technology and commercialization teams to assist in the necessary development and integration that will enable UNIS to launch the MyMedicalRecords platform by the 3rd quarter of next year. Company officials said that the agreement between MMR and UNIS will allow MMR to utilize the UNIS Cloud Computing Platform to facilitate the offering of the MyMedicalRecords PHR to the Ministry of Health and other government, financial, legal and medical entities in China. MMR Information Systems, Inc., through its wholly-owned operating subsidiary, MyMedicalRecords, Inc. (MMR), provides secure and easy-to-use online Personal Health Records (PHRs) and electronic safe deposit box storage solutions, serving consumers, healthcare professionals, employers, insurance companies, unions and professional organizations and affinity groups.(the end)sneakers
