   The Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology published its final 2009-10 eHR certification criteria.

   From PHRs to PHR Systems

   A nice paper describing the evolution of PHRs to PHR systems:

   • Think of a first generation PHR as simply a repository — a bucket — where people store health record information. There’s some value here, but it just scratches the surface.

   • Think of a second generation PHR system as an integrated platform and applications. Not only can you access your health record, but the applications provide useful ways to conduct transactions with care providers and to manage and improve your health. That’s value

   HHS Unveils Personal Health Record Privacy Notice

   The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has unveiled an easy-to-read, standardized template to help consumers to learn more about the privacy and security policies and data practices of personal health record (PHR) products.

   The template will help consumers learn more about PHR security and data management practices, much like nutrition labels do for foods.

   With the goal of helping PHR companies build greater trust among consumers, the PHR model privacy notice is similar to nutrition labels on foods, in that it simplifies complex information to improve transparency and consumer understanding.

   Most patients not using PHRs

   Evidently that old adage about horses and water also applies to patients: You can give them free access to personal health records (PHRs) but that doesn’t mean they’ll take advantage of the opportunity.

   The benefits of HIE-based PHRs

   Offering personal health record portals through health information exchanges can help providers meet key parts of Meaningful Use and improve patient communications and engagement, while also increasing an HIE’s value proposition.
