“A survey of more than 800 physicians across multiple specialties found that many doctors are willing to use personal health records in their practices, despite their skepticism of the benefits.
For purposes of the survey, published in the February issue of Health Affairs, PHRs were defined as both medical record systems controlled by patients and patient portals that give patients access to their physicians’ records. Physician use of PHRs included offering them to patients, contributing information to a patient-run PHR, and using the data in a patient’s PHR for clinical care.”
