For National Family Caregivers Month, Jean Ross, RN, CEO and co-founder of Primary Record, made a special appearance on FOX59’s Indy Now to spotlight how Primary Record is transforming how families manage their healthcare.

Indy Now is Indianapolis’s go-to morning lifestyle and entertainment show, co-hosted by Jillian Deam and Ryan Ahlwardt. Known for their engaging interviews and community-focused content, Jillian and Ryan created a dynamic platform for Jean to discuss the challenges family caregivers face and how Primary Record is providing solutions.

In her segment, Jean emphasized the importance of families taking control of their healthcare journey. “When families have the tools to organize their health story, it’s a game-changer,” Jean shared. She also highlighted Primary Record’s mission to simplify the overwhelming task of managing medical records across various systems by offering one secure place to organize, collaborate, and share health information.

Why This Matters:

Jean’s appearance on Indy Now marks a pivotal moment in our journey to bring Primary Record to more families who need support navigating the complexities of modern healthcare. As caregivers are increasingly tasked with coordinating care, this innovation is helping to ease the burden while improving care.

The Medical Binder: Why We Keep Asking Families to Solve a Problem the Healthcare System Created
Type "medical binder caregiver" into any search engine and you'll find hundreds of guides, downloadable PDFs, and printable templates telling families to get organized. But why, in 2026, are we still asking caregivers to solve a problem the healthcare system created? Primary Record and the National Shattering Silence Coalition are here to change that.

Rural Health Has a Last-Mile Data Problem. FHIR Is Part of the Answer.
Health systems have made real progress on interoperability. But outside clinical walls, rural care teams, community paramedics, and family caregivers are still stitching records together by hand. Primary Record co-founder Jean Ross, RN, on the last-mile data problem in care coordination, and what FHIR can and can't yet solve.

Why Do We Build Medical Care Pathways But Not Social Ones?
We've spent decades building clinical pathways for heart failure: the drugs, the testing intervals, the escalation triggers. But the pathway stops at the hospital door. The community paramedic, the area agency on aging, the community health worker, they're doing the work that keeps patients out of the ER, and none of them are in the same system, reliably funded, or connected to each other. It's time to build the care pathway that starts when the patient goes home.
