Personal Health Records (PDF)

Patient-controlled personal health records are the key to
successful interaction between physician and patient. They form the
core for joined-up communication throughout health organizations.
Still, the very name is capable of alarming both patient and
doctor. Are they reliable? Are they complete? Are they
confidential? Where do you access them?

For the doctor, additional concerns surround the implementation:
how do you include these online tools in your busy schedule?

How much will they add to your existing spend on information
technology?

Can you get paid for doing all this extra work?

Now you can find dependable answers to all of these
questions.

Written by a physician who has developed his own personal health
records software for patients and doctors to interact, Personal
Health Records: A Guide for Clinicians explains how to get the
best from your patient's records and how to put the information to
good use, helping both your patient and yourself to a more
effective and efficient outcome in any clinical situation.
