How It Works - An Overview

As a provider, you sign up with HRC as a Dispenser-Licensee, to dispense and support the MedKaz, or merely to support it as a Licensee. If you are a PCP, you will probably prefer to be a Dispenser-Licensee. If a specialist, you probably will prefer to be a Licensee but not a Dispenser. (Steps 1 through 5 primarily concern Dispenser-Licensees.)

  1. You pre-load the MedKaz with your patient's records and dispense it to your patient.
  2. Your patient signs up with HRC and subscribes to the MedKaz service.
  3. Your patient completes a setup procedure, supplying personal, medical, insurance and contact information to be stored on the MedKaz.
  4. Your patient asks their other providers to send copies of their records to HRC where they are processed and downloaded to the MedKaz. Help is available from HRC for this.
  5. Your patient keeps the MedKaz with them at all times.
  6. When your patient comes to you for a visit or exam, they give you the MedKaz and enter their password so you or your staff can view the MedKaz contents.
  7. You log on to the MedKaz by entering your username and password, and read the documents about your patient that are waiting for you: a Referral Request if your patient has been referred to you; a Pre-Visit Questionnaire report generated by your patient; a current Health Summary report generated from the MedKaz that brings you up to date about your patient's health; and an Encounter Summary form for you to use while treating your patient and, subsequently, to update your patient's MedKaz.
  8. You examine your patient, sort, search, and read your patient's relevant prior records so you can better understand your patient's prior history, care, and test results, and complete your assessment and plan.
  9. You order tests or refer them to a specialist, as appropriate.
  10. You and/or your assistant complete the Encounter Summary, recording your progress notes, medication changes, and so forth.
  11. Your assistant scans paper records relevant to the encounter, logs on to the MedKaz Server, and uploads them along with electronic documents created on the MedKaz, for processing. In real time, your assistant verifies the accuracy of the processed records.
  12. The Server automatically downloads them to your patient's MedKaz and to your PRM. Delayed records such as test results, transcribed notes or radiology reports are processed the same way when you receive them.  The Server then notifies your patient that these delayed records are available and your patient downloads them.
