EHRport - the Electronic Health Records Portal - puts patients in control of their own medical records. EHRport creates a single repository for each patient to hold their health records, and doctors are authenticated to view and add to this repository. The result is an EHR system that provides easy and secure access to electronic health records, without the need for long entry forms, faxing between practices, or CDs with images on them. EHRport is a simple way to view and transfer EHRs in a patient controlled way.
Why EHRport?
Medical errors cause up to 400,000 deaths per year and nearly 10,000 serious medical complications each day, ... When you take a step back and look at these [errors], studies show that 80 percent of them result from miscommunications between caregivers during transitions of care, ... hospitals waste $12 billion per year, or about 2 percent of revenue, as a result of poor communication...- Dr. James Woodson, Becker's Hospital Review

End-to-end encryption for data transfer once doctors have been authenticated
Two Factor Authentication for record access
Basic health information available with RFID card for emergency responders
$12 billion dollars are wasted per year due to poor communication
