“A new service from Medicare called Personal Health Records (PHR) can help people say on top of their medical history. The benefits of an online Personal Health Record (PHR) can help fulfill New Year’s resolutions to live healthier in 2010. A Web-based PHR keeps medical information at one’s fingertips, reduces paperwork and helps doctors provide the proper care for their patients. Most people see more than one doctor and fill more than one prescription. They are treated in a doctor’s office, outpatient facility or at a clinic – often for a single episode of care. Doctors may only treat patients for one condition and not know what other doctors have advised regarding their health. Remembering all the facts to share with doctors can be confusing and difficult for patients as well.”
