Lack of Consensus on PHR Definitions : Lack of Consensus on PHR Definitions No universally accepted PHR definition. Markle and AHIMA have tried to offer various definitions for a PHR, yet these are not consensus definitions used world wide. The burgeoning growth of the Personal Health Record market has also created confusion among users. (e.g. EMR, PHR, EHR, EPR) Three most important features Patient Ownership Patient Access Portability

PHR Benefits : PHR Benefits A Parent’s Perspective Can aid in the care of multiple generations Care by adult children of elderly parents Care of minor children Care of college age children away from home Can record baseline for future comparisons Relevant x-rays, ekgs, scans, digital photos, etc Can eliminate repetitive health history requests/requirements Critical documentation available when traveling, especially overseas Contains “Emergency Data Set” - important in distress situations Lists medications, allergies, blood type, advance directives, etc. Can empower lifestyle changes for patients with chronic conditions In conjunction with physician/clinician input, tools can provide guidelines and then record results which are shared with the health professional


PHR Benefits : PHR Benefits A Physician’s Perspective Enhances patient safety Can enable convenient information exchange with Physician EMR Capability to address HIPAA consent/authorization matters Provides patient health history for new patients Can contain baseline for comparisons to current conditions x-rays, ekgs, scans, digital photos, etc Can record test results (convenient comparison w/ previous results) Critical documentation available in Emergency Department situations Contains “Emergency Data Set” - Information at the Point of Care Lists medications, allergies, blood type, advance directives, etc. Improves patient-physician dialogue/patient honesty Can promote lifestyle changes for patients with chronic conditions In conjunction with physician input, tools can provide guidelines and then record results which are shared with health professional


PHR Distribution Channels : PHR Distribution Channels Direct to Consumer Alternative distribution channels Employers Health Insurers Physicians and Hospitals Health Banks


Networked PHRs as Tools for Transformation : Networked PHRs as Tools for Transformation Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information Networked-enabled – improved care management Improves quality of provider-patient interaction Relieves input burden of critical health information Providers build consumer loyalty to their practices or health plans by giving consumers networked PHR capabilities The future of the PHR is a patient-centric model where the consumer is at the center of the integrated medical information network


PHRs – Change Agents for Engaged Consumers : PHRs – Change Agents for Engaged Consumers


Individuals Need Accurate and Timely Health Information : Individuals Need Accurate and Timely Health Information Consumerism impacts individuals’ need to get information and exercise more control over their health and care decisions Natural disasters (CA wildfires/Katrina), have fast-tracked projects to deliver electronic medical records to displaced residents and providers Healthcare reimbursement accounts (HRAs) and savings accounts (HSAs), increasingly motivate consumers to maintain a record of healthcare services and expenses Wellness incentive & reward programs encourage individuals to track health promotion and status Hospitals, health plans, physicians, government and industry groups are developing electronic medical records to store patient/ consumer and member health histories President Bush has called for an electronic medical record for nearly every American by 2014


PHRs Types : PHRs Types AHIP describes main types of PHRs Records populated by medical and pharmaceutical claims data and physician input More sophisticated PHRs, combining medical and health information from members, providers and claims data Mature PHRs, linking to self-management tools designed specifically for members with chronic disease and critical risk factors, such as smoking or obesity, and providing a communication vehicle between patient and physician Networked PHR with EHR integrated medical information


PHR Market Drivers & Restraints : PHR Market Drivers & Restraints


Additional Market Drivers : Additional Market Drivers Continued Dossia-Like Initiatives (Employer Coalitions) HL7 – PHR Functional Model Specification CCHIT – Security on PHR AHIC Resolutions and work on NHIN prototypes Continua Alliance – Interoperability with Personal Health Devices Medical Home Model


Consumer Perspectives : Consumer Perspectives Improves understanding of personal health issues, increases sense of control and supports decision-making Supports timely, appropriate preventive services & wellness activities Strengthens communication with providers and verifies accuracy of information in their records Supports continuity of care across multiple providers and time Reduces hassle through online appointment scheduling and prescription refills Increases access to providers via e-visits Reduces adverse drug interactions and allergic reactions Helps avoid duplicate tests Supports home monitoring for chronic diseases as well as understanding of and appropriate medication use Manage insurance benefits and claims


PHR Benefits for Plan Sponsors : PHR Benefits for Plan Sponsors Reduction in costs through appropriate utilization Support wellness and preventive care Provide convenient service Improve workforce productivity Promote empowered healthcare consumers Use and apply advanced analytic/business intelligence of real-time aggregated data to manage employee health Enables “total health” engagement and empowerment


PHR Benefits for Providers : PHR Benefits for Providers Improves access to data from other providers and the patients themselves Increases knowledge of potential drug interactions and allergies Avoids duplicate tests Improves medication compliance Provides information to patients for both healthcare and patient services purposes Provides patients with convenient access to specific information or services (e.g., lab results, Rx refills, e-visits) Improves documentation of communication with patients


Medical Cost Trends : Medical Cost Trends Growing need to engage and incent consumers to improve individual behavior, such as poor medical compliance and low utilization of DM programs Increased employer demand for wellness incentive programs to motivate healthy employee behavior. Integration of medical and clinical programs to eliminate individual program “silos” and view the member holistically Use of “evidence-based medicine” to deliver care according to the most current, medically-validated medical literature Pay for Performance (P4P)/Value programs reward providers for high quality and cost effective care Industry and employer initiatives, such as BTE and Leapfrog, recognize and reward providers who deliver safe, effective, efficient and patient-centered care


Technology Trends : Technology Trends Microsoft HealthVault – Personal Health Information (PHI) Platform a set of search and personal health-record tools that consumers control in terms of the data that's entered and shared with others. Google Health – Developed a prototype online platform for its health offering that incorporates personal medical records, health care-related search features, diet and exercise regimens, a localized "find a doctor" application, and other elements. Quicken Health Online tool that will help you manage your out-of-pocket spending on medical bills and help consumers find and fix billing errors so you don't pay more than you owe.

Examples of PHR Implementations in Europe : Examples of PHR Implementations in Europe


European PHR Implementations : European PHR Implementations Netherlands - A web based PHR is developed based on the international open standard CEN/ISO-13606(1) and the openEHR information model(2). Scotland - Scotland’s national health information technology strategy seeks “to deliver an Integrated Care Record jointly managed by patients and professional NHS staff with built-in security of access governed by patient. Sweden - The SUSTAINS (Support Users to Access Information and Services) project in Sweden provides useful lessons on ePHRs. The central concept of this project was to create “a copy of Internet banking but for health care.”


Slide29 : Barmer, Germany's largest insurance company, is to begin a national evaluation of the effects personal health records (PHR) have on patient self-care and health service delivery. The trial is believed to be one of the biggest yet patient-controlled PHRs. During the course of the study Barmer will offer the system to all of its seven million members across Germany; some will be offered the system for free, while others will have to subscribe to the service. ICW will supply its LifeSensor web-based PHR which will provide Barmer members with the ability to actively manage and control their health, including accessing their personal health information anywhere and anytime they want.
