The Personal Health Record (PHR) is central to consumer centric healthcare. The promise that PHRs offer is to provide the information patients need to understand their health history and clinicians need to make effective treatment recommendations while fostering informed conversations between patients and clinicians. The opportunity is so compelling that we are seeing an explosion of PHRs becoming available to health consumers, whether they are from health content providers like webMD, PHR providers like ActiveHealth Management, providers or payors such as Aetna. The reality is that since health information comes from all of these sources including patients, their providers, and payers, the development of effective PHRs will require close collaboration between health content, technology and health care delivery professionals.
A panel of experts will look at how PHRs can enable a user-friendly experience in healthcare. Also they will explore the technology and infrastructure needed to capture accurate information, integrate it with medical records, and/or claims data, and make it easy to access and use. Join us as we explore issues that arise regarding how the data sources can be integrated (potentially through Regional Health Information Organizations - RHIOs), who controls the information in the PHR and how it all will be secured.
