  3. Personal Health Record (PHR) • The idea behind the personal health record (PHR) is that the more consumers know about their health, the more control they will take over it and the healthier they will be. • PHRs also encourage consumers to collect and share more health-related information with each of their providers. • For this reason, healthcare providers, employers, insurers, vendors, and the federal government are all interested in promoting PHRs. • Consumers will hear much more about the personal record in the months and years ahead. Courtesy: AHIMA Personal Health Record Practice Council. "Helping Consumers Select PHRs: Questions and Considerations for Navigating an Emerging Market." Journal of AHIMA 77, no.10 (November-December 2006): 50-56.

  4. What is a PHR? • No standard definition • AHIMA proposed a PHR definition in 2005: • “The personal health record (PHR) is an electronic, universally available, lifelong resource of health information needed by individuals to make health decisions. Individuals own and manage the information in the PHR, which comes from healthcare providers and the individual. The PHR is maintained in a secure and private environment, with the individual determining rights of access. The PHR is separate from and does not replace the legal record of any provider.”
