TLDR
Only the integrated model has true transformative potential to strengthen consumers' ability to manage their own health care, and with some exceptions, the integrated PHR model is still a theoretical framework for consumer-centric health care.
Abstract
Background Integrated personal health records (PHRs) offer significant potential to stimulate transformational changes in health care delivery and self-care by patients. In 2006, an invitational roundtable sponsored by Kaiser Permanente Institute, the American Medical Informatics Association, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was held to identify the transformative potential of PHRs, as well as barriers to realizing this potential and a framework for action to move them closer to the health care mainstream. This paper highlights and builds on the insights shared during the roundtable.
