Tip: Things to consider if PHRs are in your facility's future
EHR Connection, March 3, 2008
Personal health records (PHRs) are gaining momentum nationwide and may already be on the horizon at your organization.
PHRs are not one-size-fits-all, so begin the planning process with some very basic questions:
- Will you offer paper-based, self-managed electronic, or jointly-managed electronic PHRs?
- Are individuals, organizations, a combination of both, or other parties your intended audience?
- How will your organization use PHRs?
- Will PHRs be part of your organization's legal health record?
This tip comes from The No-Hassle Guide to EHR Policies published by HCPro, Inc. Look for more tips on this topic in future issues of EHR Connection.
