Device is for use by and in all areas of state. Development will tie disparate record keeping systems between various Regional Health Information Organizations (RHIO) and tie in local doctors, nursing homes and other organizations not affiliated with RHIO�s. Will create seamless patient health record capable of being used anywhere in the state. Will meet requirements of development by Federal government, lead to lower statewide healthcare costs, reduce healthcare errors, and develop major export industry leading to new jobs and increased state revenues.

Project Description:
Project will provide 50 portable health care devices, one rolling desk, one laptop computer, one printer, two rugged portable computers with GPS, full device training and implementation. The project will give 50 iPHER�s ( individual personal health electronic records) to patients for personal use. It will provide a laptop computer for the medical clinic, plus a laptop computer for the two regional ambulances. The clinic�s personnel and the ambulance personnel will be trained by Patient Practitioners, LLC in the use of the iPHER. The clinic will in turn find 50 patients and train and teach them in the use of the iPHER�s. The clinic, patients and ambulance services will provide feedback and information on the use of the iPHER�s for further development and implementation throughout Florida and its medical systems.
