The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) has launched a new campaign directed at educating and encouraging patients in the use of personal health records. AHIMA has a PHR tool at www.myphr.com. The site also links to various other PHR options and resources.
Individuals can create their own PHR, or may be offered one by a variety of sources. Policies to look for include privacy and security; the ability of the individual, or those they authorize, to access their information; and control over accessibility by others. If the PHR contains the same information that the doctor has seen, it has more usefulness for tracking purposes than information from insurance forms.
