"Our partnership with Jardogs will allow our patients to be the true gatekeepers of their health information, using one Universal Health Record instead of a proprietary patient portal for every organization they visit," said Dr. Julie Gerndt, Chief Medical Officer of the Mankato Clinic.  "FollowMyHealth™ will allow our patients to complete forms electronically from their homes instead of in the office on clipboards. Furthermore, the data from the forms flows into our electronic medical record system, eliminating data entry and improving the accuracy of clinical information. The resulting return on investment will be immediate."

"FollowMyHealth™ creates a truly interactive health environment in that patients can contribute health information and send it to their physicians as well as communicate with their providers for everything from appointment requests to online consults," said Jim Hewitt, CEO of Jardogs. "Our solution combines the individual health record approach of a PHR with the integration of a patient portal to create the only true Universal Health Record."
