New Project Update Report: Designing PHRs for Living
9-25-07
Over the past nine months, Project HealthDesign grantee teams have been designing personal health record (PHR) tools and applications that will help consumers to live healthier lives as they go about their daily routines. Traditionally, PHRs have been viewed primarily as online repositories of medical information, but the teams have been challenged to expand this vision by designing new approaches to PHRs that will help patients take charge of their health and better manage their care. This new report, titled Designing PHRs for Living, documents their progress and how the project has evolved over time, and reports early findings on what patients want from their PHRs to support specific health goals. It also provides commentary from Patricia Flatley Brennan, R.N., Ph.D., national program director for Project HealthDesign and Stephen Downs, S.M., senior program officer and deputy director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Health Group.
