PHD Platforms & Standards: A Comparative Analysis Project HealthDesign is committed to the development of next-generation personal health records (PHRs) that advance a wide variety of tools that help people make healthy decisions and better manage their health care. As part of that commitment, the project has developed functional requirements and technical specifications of common platform components (CPCs) that are necessary to support this goal.
Last January, using an in-depth process of needs assessment interviews and analysis of work performed by the grantees in their design and prototyping efforts, Project HealthDesign developed a set of functional requirements and technical specifications of CPCs for PHR applications. Based on these requirements, the program analyzed existing clinical data repositories, clinical data standards, and other relevant industry standards to determine their applicability as common platform components or parts thereof.
The analysis, Meeting the Requirements of Project HealthDesign: Comparative Analysis with Respect to Existing and Emerging Clinical Data Standards and Commercial PHR Data Repositories, supported by the California HealthCare Foundation and prepared by Walter Sujansky of Sujansky & Associates LLC, is the latest project document created to inform the health IT community about innovation in PHRs. The results of this analysis highlight that, although existing data standards and PHR repositories meet many of the requirements of these applications, specific features identified by Project HealthDesign are not yet fully supported by these current resources.
