“Yesterday, we outlined why the PHR term has the potential to stunt future advances in consumer health and engagement via HIT. Our thesis is that the PHR term is rooted in a dated concept of simply providing the user/citizen a virtual file cabinet for their health records. Since the initial introduction of Internet-based PHRs nearly a decade ago, adoption has been by and large abysmal. Our belief is that adoption, or lack thereof, is symptomatic of PHRs not having a sufficient value proposition for the vast majority of potential users.”
