Abstract

Personal Health Record (PHR) systems offer great promise to create a more patient-centered healthcare system, and to improve patient safety and quality and reduce costs.  Healthcare executives need to prepare for a future in which patients and there families are active participants in the care.  This guide summarizes the state of PHR development, outlines privacy, security, and data use considerations, and lays out strategies to advance PHR development and adoption.  A Task Force chaired by Paul Tang, MD and Debra Ness, MS provided stewardship of this work.  The CEO Survival Guide series provides senior executives with analysis on key issues for the delivery of quality healthcare, that is balanced in presenting all sides of complex issues including multi-stakeholder perspectives, and includes pragmatic recommendations on next steps.
