Pros: MyOMR (Online Medical Registry) provides safe storage for your personal health records. The site allows patients to track and manage their own personal health information. User interface is clean, organizing different health data into neat categories. Since data is web-based, records are accessible from any web browser; no data is ever lost. If preferred, the medical registry can be integrated into a portable medical ID. You only pay once – no monthly or annual subscription. There are two ways to avail of the MyOMR service. One, you can buy a Medical ID and you get MyOMR services for free. Prices start at $24.95. Two, you can skip the Medical ID and purchase just the service – one-time fee is $29.95. MyOMR has a 24-hour live chat support and phone support.

Cons: There are no demos available on the website, so users cannot try the OMR to evaluate its ease of use until they have registered. Unless you have a Medical ID, emergency personnel will not be able to view your information without your access code. The covered medical information is limited – the dashboard does not include sections for lab results and growth charts.

The Bottomline: MyOMR is a basic PHR tool that lets you store, update, and view your medical information. MyOMR simplifies hospital/clinic visits, too, but patients who want a PHR tool for emergencies must purchase a Medical ID. There are no outstanding features and no section for child-focused medical information. Parents who want the best tool for keeping track of their kids’ health have to look for a solution somewhere else.
