The Visiting Nurse Association of South Central Connecticut (VNA/SCC) has recently begun offering the Web-based products of Online Registries, Inc. (OLR) to the public through a link on their Website (www.vnascc.org). The products, electronic medical proxies and electronic personal medical profiles, are marketed to consumers on a private pay basis.

OLR Products for Managing a Family’s Healthcare Information

OLR products are an ideal tool for consumers who want to be empowered to manage their own or their family’s healthcare information more proactively. For example, parents who want to manage their childrens’ information and have it available for school nurses or camp counselors and “sandwich generation” consumers who also have to manage the care of their elderly parents, can particularly benefit from these products. Everyone can benefit from having a medical proxy readily available in times of a medical crisis.

“At the recent VNAA annual meeting in Palm Desert, a clear message that we took away from the whole week was that in order for VNAs to stay viable and relevant, we have to look for new ways to add value to what we offer our consumers and augment traditional lines with new sources of revenue. The OLR products are an ideal fit in these regards,” commented Andrew Eaves, Vice President, Marketing and Development, VNA/SCC.

Benefits of Partnering with OLR
VNA/SCC would like to share this product with other VNAA members to add to their product lines as well. Any VNAA member can enter into an agreement with OLR to market their products. Benefits to the home health agencies include:

• Additional revenue generating product line

• Complement to existing fee for service programs and products

• Assisting with solving the problem of hospital readmission

• No cost to begin getting involved

• Simple tracking mechanism for commissions

• Valuable safety net service for their patients and families

• An exciting new product that can generate media and public interest
