There is a tremendous amount of press addressing the issue of privacy and security of electronic health records (EHR) and personal health records (PHR) and how HIPAA will impact these offerings.

 

A PHR is owned and controlled by the patient while an EHR is owned by a provider. An EHR is a legal document which has implications for how information is entered, changed or deleted, while a PHR is not a legal document.

Many health plans offer PHRs, including UnitedHealth Group and WellPoint. Plans are interested in them for two reasons: They deliver on the promise of supporting consumer directed health care by providing information that will promote greater interaction between patients and their doctors, and, more importantly, as the sponsor of the PHR, with authorization, they will have access to the record, giving them a new, expanded and systematic way to interact with patients on the care they receive.

Biometric Health ID Smart Cards 
 

 
Biometric Health ID Smart Cards streamline admissions and reduce data entry errors by eliminating the need to fill out forms.
 
Biometric Health ID Smart Cards improve claim processing by automatically capturing patient information at the point of care.

Secure Access to Patient Portals Personal Health Records (PHR's)

 

 

A Markel Foundation study found that seven out of ten consumers said they would use an online PHR service to check for mistakes in their medical record (69%) and to check and refill Rx prescriptions (68%); and more than half reported they would use an online PHR service to conduct private e-mail communication with their doctor (57%) and get results over the Internet (58%).

 

Health Plans like UnitedHealth and Wellpoint and  employers like Intel, Pitney Bowes and Wal-Mart are offering their patients and employees PHR's. (Managed Care Magazine article)
