Preregistration Using 
NoMoreClipboard.com (NMC) has partnerd with Google Health to provide a secure online personal health record (PHR) for you and your family which you can update and print as needed. You create your account on a secure online server with your own unique ID name and password and the information you want to include. You can direct NMC to fax or electronically deliver your health records to selected physicians. The basic service is free to patients. Doctors who pay a subscription for the service, like Dr Elman, will get notification from NMC when a patient has selected him to receive a new PHR and he can logon to his office account to see the new patient file. Once you have entered your information, which includes your demographics, complete health information, information about your previous glasses and contact lenses, and health and vision insurance information, then your PHR can be sent as needed to health care providers of your choosing. Information sent to the doctor has a unique code for each patient so the doctor can send updated information on your health back to NMC with the same code. If your information is complete you may not have to fill out any forms in doctors' offices--hopefully everything all your doctors need will have been sent to them before you arrive at their offices. Once you have created your secure on line account at www.NoMoreClipboard.com and entered your information you will be given an opportunity to send your record to Dr Elman. If you have an appointment already scheduled enter the date on your on-line form. If you do not have an appointment scheduled you will be asked if you would like to be contacted by e-mail or phone to schedule appointment and an e-mail confirmation will be sent to you.
