“Imagine it is 2020. You had a test done the day before, a test that was ordered because your physician was alerted via your EHR to a gap in care. The following morning, both you and your physician receive the results via e-mail, you via your PHR and she via her EHR system. The test reveals an abnormality. You get another e-mail with a link to the EHR’s patient portal to schedule an appointment with your physician. I could go on, but you get the picture.”
