Imagine taking care of your parents at the end of their life. Sitting in a physician’s waiting room filling out paper work which seems to have been the exact paper work you filled out a couple of days before. Your elderly father isn’t holding up very well in the waiting room, as you scramble to remember that crucial piece of information the doctor will need to treat your father.
That’s the story of OnlineMedsource Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer Agi Lurtz. Her experience in taking care of her parents at the end of their lives gave her the fire to start the company. Agi’s mission was to create an electronic health records system that’s easy to use and secures vital medical information. A strategy was needed that would equally benefit the patient, the caregiver, the physicians and their staff. The founder’s vision was of a service that allowed for the sharing of patient medical information and files among physicians, hospitals, emergency medical technicians and other healthcare providers.
