A few month ago we here @ EZ Duplication got involved making pre-labeled blank CDs for Hospital Groups - Personal Medical Records (PMRs). As pointed out, the high grade media units. is already being used in OEM duplication units. Pre-labeled media saves on ordering the dreaded ink cartridges. And if anyone really took a look at that expensed item...
Like all areas we support, I investigate the potential growth or overall acceptance of this service too others. What I have found needs to be shared.
Like all election platforms - Health Care is a hot button. But what seems to be hidden from this volumn of speech's is not "we" should be taking responsibility for our own Health Care. But what about the distribution or transfer of "Our" medical records from one source to another. An considering that is something that goes with the territory when "changing" providers. What are we suppose to do? Most Hospital/Doctor Groups give the option to "Purchase" these records which can be formatted on a DVD/CD.
Like the future of this business, Digital or Online Access is preferred. Of course this not wide spread yet but we're headed in the right direction. Dossia - a Non-Profit organization who's goal (w/collaboration Omnimedix)to make your records accessible in the event of a emergency or disaster, has gathered some large companies in bring this too life. Like all great ideas they some how end up in court before we get to see results.
Mind you the companies involved are doing this for their employees. But what about the SMBs of the world, like us for example. My Pocket MD (Wellington, Fl) could be the answer, subscription programs that put access back in your hands and digital images (which is key). Don't confuse this with Pocket MD (West Fargo, ND) who has tackled the VA hospital system, (hell of a proving ground)and is now expanding their expertise to other systems.
[NOTE: notice the domain names on each link. There's a fight waiting to happen]
All in all HIPPA keeps referring to "Our Medical Records" with security and privacy issues. But know one can tell me: Why does it cost me $$$ to have a copy or access? As a fine associate of mine stated: "welcome too Health Care, everybody wants everything and nobody wants to pay for it".
Take moment an ask yourself: how would I obtain a copy of my Medical Records? Records mind you NOT Digital Images, that is gold.

PreLabled CDs/DVDs ....burn your own content...
With ever present watch-dogs at our door step, duplicators
are forced, (w/good reason)to monitor the content they
produce. One common theory when producing such is,
"it's not for Re-Sale so it should be alright". Wrong
Services that understand the policies in place with respect
to Digital Rights Management (DRM) or Copy Rights are
now having to choose, which they should, an walk away
from projects. From a business that is looking for an
opportunity without encountering the legal possibilities,
there is an option.
One solution which may help is focus on the packaging.
CD Jacket (Album cover for CD) and Pre-labled CDs.
For us this just makes life easier for the personal events
we want to support - Weddings - Promotions - Parties.
Each week we receive numerous requests of duplicating
disc's that actually have copy written material on them.
Favorite song list the new bride/groom want too share
with their guests or video clip a company sees as a
potential learning tool. They contact us hoping too
receive support with the "it's not for ReSale" theme.
Granted this is a thin line, but lets take a step back.
Move your efforts from inkjet w/water resistant labels
to a high quality finished disc. CD Jacket makes for
easier display and shipping. CD shipping cost is now
more expensive @ USPS because of Jewel cases.
Companies should take advantage of this for their
marketing departments and internal usage. Why not
add a little flexibility too your professional image.
DJ's - your audience is always asking for demo's or
copies of your song lists.
We want your business, there are guidelines and
policies which need to be adhered too. It does
not mean we will not try too figure-out something.
