Patients in the Palo Alto Medical Foundation have been using a personal health record system that provides them with access to their health information and helps them become more active participants in the health care process.
The web-based system allows patients to view lab results, renew drug prescriptions, or cancel a physician appointment, all from the convenience of a keyboard.
System administrators this year will add an "e-Visits" feature that will allow patients to interact online with their physicians for non-emergency problems such as colds and allergy symptoms. It also will ad an online disease-management feature that will enable patients with conditions such as diabetes to send data frequently from home-monitoring devices to their physicians and receive feedback on how to maintain their health.
