We are pleased to highlight a new relationship between Microsoft Corp. and Universal Patient Record Information Systems (UPRIS). UPRIS is a Health Information Technology (HIT) firm that develops culturally specific solutions predominantly for diverse organizations and communities of color. UPRIS will enable HealthVault connectivity through the solutions it develops for clients. This new relationship and connectivity with HealthVault will empower UPRIS’s clients and their membership to send information stored in their UPRIS solution account to their HealthVault record. HealthVault will also allow them to gather and store information from other health plans, healthcare providers, pharmacies, and HealthVault-enabled applications and devices.

UPRIS works with the AME Church and the AME Health Commission to put on several health fairs in the Gulf Coast.  This much needed series of events has made it clear of the need to reach communities the way they need to be reached as it relates to health care.  UPRIS understands the need to reach the wide variety of individuals with access and literacy as it relates to their health care situation.
