History
Magnus Health Portal was formed in 2005 with the intent of
improving healthcare by allowing patients the ability to create
and share their personal health records with healthcare
professionals. A Radiation Oncologist from Raleigh, NC conceived
the idea of a storage house for all of a patient's records. One
day a patient came to him with his complete medical record scanned
onto a CD. The treatment was able to quickly take a direct and
pointed approach to that specific patient because the doctor was
able to see his entire medical history. No time was lost waiting
for other practices to collect and send records for the physician
to review. More importantly, the patient was actively involved in
the decision making of his own treatment.
