We’ve all experienced the frustration of arriving to a doctor’s appointment on time, only to be greeted by a clipboard full of medical paperwork and a sea of people waiting patiently ahead of you to see your physician. For some, the amount of time spent in a waiting room is just an added frustration we all have come to accept from time to time; but for Agi Lurtz, these precious minutes were taking her away from caring for her ill father in the last few years of his life.

While caring for her father, Lurtz came to realize that she was just providing mostly the same information over and over again and again. During their many visits to numerous physicians she determined there must be a faster and more efficient way to fix this problem; and from this vision, OnlineMedsource was born.

“The process began to take a toll on my dad, on my family and on me,” Agi said. “I found myself carrying plastic grocery bags of my father’s medicines and vitamins with me every time I took my dad to the doctor or the hospital.”

OnlineMedsource began development in 1999 and has been successfully assisting medical facilities and physician’s offices, in multiple states, since 2003. Lurtz wanted to create a service to allow for the sharing of patient medical information and files among physicians, hospitals, emergency medical technicians and other health care providers. The service would also include patient’s important health information such as medications, allergies, blood type, and medical diseases and conditions. Previous physicians, emergency contacts and basic personal information would also be included in the patient’s file.

OnlineMedsource offers the public two important services. First, the service includes a free, user-friendly medical reference site. Second, the very secure system that allows you to contact your physicians and fill out their forms on-line, from home where you have all the necessary information to complete the forms properly. This information is then stored safely and securely, with access given only to you, the patient, and the healthcare providers of your choice.

Imagine how great it would be to look in the medicine cabinet instead of trying to remember all your medications, vitamins and other supplements while balancing a clipboard,” Lurtz added.

Lurtz has spent over 30 years in the sales and computer industry, and has owned and operated seven successful businesses over the last 20 years. With this background coupled with her own experiences in dealing with the medical community, she brings the knowledge and experience needed to make OnlineMedsource, Inc. a successful enterprise.
