Expanding PHR Pilot Testing
According to Paul McCloskey, on April 08, 2009, the Military Health System [MHS] will extend its test of personal health records at Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Wash., to two additional health care venues in an attempt to test the technology in larger populations and more diverse care settings.
MiCare PHR Focus
The new projects will focus on using the MiCare Personal Health Record [PHR] as a tool for care coordination and a mechanism for patients to share health records across a mix of military and commercial providers and payer organizations, according to Col. Keith Salzman, chief of informatics at Madigan, which is hosting a pilot test of MHS’ MiCare PHR.
