In an article in Hitched Magazine, “The Importance of Having a Personal Health Record,” author Robin Wiener, Get Real Health’s President and Founding Partner, writes that, “One of the most effective ways to increase patient engagement is with a personal health record (PHR).  PHRs provide many benefits to those who use them, but like one’s credit rating, just having a record is not enough. It is important that people keep up on monitoring them, too.”

Wiener adds that there are five benefits to creating and then monitoring your PHR:  saving money, ensuring accuracy, having greater control over your health, providing information when needed and staying organized. “Having your own medical history at your disposal,” Wiener says, “puts you, the patient, back in a position of power to be responsible and informed of your own health status.”

    Founder, Greg Maybaum Real Estate Closings
    I’ve been a pioneer and innovator among New York City closing attorneys for 35 years, but my branding needed a skillful refresh to reflect my experience, and I needed someone to transform my website into a tool that would help me prequalify prospects so I could make better use of my time serving upscale clients. On The Marc Media did an amazing job for me on both of those objectives. They reinvented my brand and created a style guide to ensure that my positioning, messaging and graphic design remains consistent going forward. And they not only changed the look and functionality of my website, they turned it into a semi-automated sales funnel that includes a detailed questionnaire that enables me to instantly understand the goals of each prospective client. On The Marc Media really cares. They have the marketing expertise to deliver incredible results and they’re continually evaluating their strategy to see where greater opportunities might exist. I highly recommend working with this team!
