A Personal Health Record or PHR is a document containing
health information that is stored and maintained by the
patient. In its purest form – it is a health record for an
individual. An electronic PHR (software-based) enables the
storing, management, and communication of the patient’s
health information and typically includes features such as
self-tracking and monitoring of health information and
self-entry of information related to diagnoses, medications,
laboratory tests, and immunizations. Most PHR software
solutions offer the ability to receive and store information
from a doctor's electronic medical record or other
electronic data source. PHRs are available as stand-alone
PC-based solutions, web-based solutions, or hybrids allowing
Internet connectivity coupled with the ability to store on a
PC.
Types:
1. Detached PHR - PC-based software
The software is installed on your home computer and you
enter, update, and manage your health information which can
then be stored or printed as necessary.
2. Ubiquitous PHR - Internet Portal with USB Drive
The software resides on the Internet and you access it using
a username and password from any computer with Internet
access. You can also store all of your information on the
USB Drive so it is with you at all times. Participating
providers populate your record through the USB port, and/or
you can link to the Internet to send and receive
information.
