PERSONAL HEALTH RECORDS (PHR)
A
personal health record is medical information that is in the possession
of an individual patient (or patient's non-professional caregiver). The
format may be either paper (or similar types of) documents, electronic
media, or a combination of both. Any of the types of data listed above
may be included. It may also include information that a doctor may not
have, such as exercise routines, dietary habits, herbal or
nonprescription medications, or results of home testing (such as home
blood pressure or blood sugar readings). Personal health information
storage is offered online at several Internet sites.Veterans
Administration patients are able to access their personal health
records, called Personal Health Journals, through HealtheVet,[84] an
online service linked to the VistA electronic health record system.
CONTINUITY OF CARE RECORD (CCR)
The
Continuity of Care Record (CCR) is meant to represent a brief synopsis
of recent healthcare encounters, to include only significant data. It
is meant to enable a rapid assessment of the patient's overall health
and recent visits to healthcare providers. CCRs may be transmitted in
paper or electronic form.Almost all electronic health record systems
have a CCR function built in (often called the cover sheet or health
care summary). If a patient receives care in a healthcare setting using
the same electronic health record system, the CCR can usually be
instantly accessed. However, if the patient visits a healthcare setting
that uses paper records or a different or non-compatible type of
electronic health record system, the data may not be transferrable.For
this reason, a standard format for the CCR has been approved.The CCR
could be transferred directly (over a network connection, for example)
or could be stored in a Personal Health Record storage device, such as
a portable flash drive or smart card that the patient can bring from
location to location.
