What is a Personal Health Record?


                  
                           Click on the Icon above to go to myPHR web-site.

A personal health record (PHR) is a collection of important information that you maintain about your health or the health of someone you’re caring for, such as a parent or a child, which you actively maintain and update.

The American Health Information Management Association demonstrated its advocacy for the empowerment of individuals to manage their healthcare by issuing a joint Position Statement for Consumers of Health Care on the Value of Personal Health Records with the American Medical Informatics Association in February 2007. This form will provide to you a complete, short version of what you will need.

Check the Meetings and Events page for scheduled "myPHR or Educational" presentations in your area.

If you would like to schedule a presentation, please fill out our "Contact Us Form" and someone will get back with you right away about scheduling a presentation.  Click on this link to go to our Contact Us form - also on the form please let us know a little bit of what you are interested in to help us have the correct person get back with you.
