NEW YORK, NY–( EMWNews – April 7, 2008) – SynaMed, LLC, an award-winning leader in

healthcare technology, is proud to announce the launch of its free online

Personal Health Record available to all patients.

For almost a decade, SynaMed has been providing Electronic Medical Records

and Practice Management Systems to physicians across America. SynaMed’s new

feature will allow patients to take control of their own healthcare,

prevent medical errors, and potentially save thousands of lives, all at no

cost, according to Holly DeMuro, SynaMed’s Director of Operations.

So, how to provide these valuable services at no cost?

“Through the use of advertising,” answered DeMuro. “In return for accepting

ads on the site, doctors and patients can take advantage of all our system

has to offer.”

“SynaMed simplifies record keeping so that patients do not have to rely on

memory. A personal health record can also provide lifesaving medical

information when a patient is not able to speak for themselves,” DeMuro

said. SynaMed’s Personal Health Record system uses a Web browser-based

Application Service Provider (ASP) model, which allows patients access

anytime, from anywhere with Internet connection.

Patients using SynaMed’s free personal health record will be able to record

all of their medical history, doctor’s visits, check insurance coverage for

medications, and receive health maintenance reminders about wellness issues

and checkups. “Going forward, SynaMed will be expanding the Personal Health

Record to include overall health information such as mood, weight, diet,

and exercise trackers. This feature will be the first complete online

wellness center,” DeMuro said.

In addition to a state of the art PHR, SynaMed offers a free fully

integrated Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and Practice Management System

(PMS) for free to medical practitioners.

SynaMed, LLC has been known for its Web browser-based ASP model since its

inception in 1999. SynaMed has received awards from TEPR, TETHIC

(www.tethic.com) and has been top-ranked by the AC Group (www.acgroup.org).

SynaMed was designated by the Certification Commission for Healthcare

Information Technology (CCHIT) as a nationally certified vender of

electronic health record products in April of 2006.
