This is just one more thought here and with IT budgets being back burnered and cut at the upper levels, if you are in a medical practice, some of the technology may be put on hold, so if you want to have credible records at the office for no cost, try the PHR and educate patients. Even if you do...

There are many companies out there who have some very elaborate data bases and software to connect participants and investigators; however, what appears to be missing here is the patient and physician involvement at the point of care. When looking for new participants it makes perfect sense to...

There’s probably no bigger fan of PHRs than yours truly here, but where’s the awareness and out reach here, it doesn’t exist. The technology is out there, but what good is it if nobody uses it or realizes the value. Consumers, much less doctors and clinical staff all over have not a clue...

The other day I posted about some of the vendors Google Health connects with and today I’ll add a few more. These online services go beyond prescriptions and labs, and some are in fact, other subscription forms of personal health records. As mentioned before, as we now have Health 2.0 in...

Good interview from Robert Scoble and well worth listening to, he speaks about how healthcare is in a very fast pace, faster than what we have known in the past and about the shift to the consumer is evolving as far as taking care and accumulating your own personal health care records. People are...

When this technology came out, there were many questions about privacy, and the chip needs to have a facility with a “chip reader” as well, so to get everything going it does take some coordination. In the meantime, the PHR movement is moving quickly in some real positive directions as there is...

One more partner for the Microsoft HealthVault, press release below. Contrary to all it seems to be the last couple days of posts, this is not a total PHR blog. There has been a lot of news in this area and I just wanted to make sure all were aware that other news will continue to be posted...

More coverage this week on using a PHR (personal health record), this time from Joan Lunden. There are many out there to choose from, some are free and some require a fee, such as the one mentioned in this article. Are you a confused consumer? With all the available options out there today...

Very nice hospitals putting the effort in to helping patients learn how to use a personal health records, in this case, HeatlhVault from Microsoft. Just created one for my mother last evening and we plan to sign up in the next few days for the $9.00 a year fax service where any item can be faxed...

The site is a nice effort to give consumers a place to list their family health history, but gee, in looking at it, I just see if as another duplication of better efforts already in place. There are no 3rd party vendors who will add information for you, so what’s the deal? Sure you can share...

I finally had time to take a look around in detail at some of the new features. The one that is very simple for anyone is the $9.00 a year fax service. This is neat as you get a dedicated fax number that you can give to anyone to send a fax, and the document will be found in your HealthVault Account...

As I have posted in the past, hospitals today come in various shapes and forms, so doing better financially than others and those who still have the ability are moving forward to work with physicians to extend the electronic medical record to the ambulatory setting (the doctor’s office) to where the...

It is interesting in the last few weeks, since the 2% increase in payments for those physicians who use e-prescribing is getting close about the number of inquiries I have received about “how do I do this”. I have had the link for NEPSI on this site under resources for over 2 years, but now that...

This might be of interest if you want to learn about the certification process of Personal Health Records, also known as a PHR. Medical record software used by physicians and hospitals have gone through the process for a number of years, in other words a committee to certify that the software one...

This is nice and much simpler and easier to navigate. I like it, not that the old one was bad by any means, this is just a much easier format to work with. I have provided some screenshots below. It is much easier to find the information you want. One in particular I found...
