Keeping Track of Your Medical Records
Increasingly doctors’ offices are going to all-digital records. Now people too, can save all of their medical information in one place and share it with the radiologist, neurologist and allergist all in the same day.
Microsoft just came out with its healthvault program where you can upload all of your medical information for free, so you have it in one easy access place. They are working with another partner so that for a fee of $9.95 per year you can make that information available to emergency medical personnel who will be able to type into a cell phone to get your information in an emergency.
If you’d like to learn about the various and growing products being offered for people to keep track of their personal health records, go to www.myphr.com, a service of the American Health Information Management Association.

Many of the links to personal health record vendors in http://www.myphr.com website are outdated.More over,despite the presence of several hundred vendors of PHR in the market today,majority of the consumers are not aware of the concept of PHR.
Education of consumers about benefits of PHR is the key step prior to using them.

That’s too bad they’re outdated. Agree that most people aren’t aware of PHR. I sense that will probably change, however.
