FROM THE FIELD
The Missing Link: Bridging The PatientProvider Health Information Gap
Paul C. Tang and
David Lansky
Widespread adoption of information technology is now regarded as a pathway to improving health care and achieving the Institute of Medicines highly regarded six aims for redesigning care. Achieving these aims requires fresh approaches to health system design, including continuous healing relationships between physicians and patients and provision of tools to help patients be more active participants in their own care. Personal health records (PHRs) might allow patients and providers to develop new ways of collaborating and provide the basis for broader transformation of the health care system. Federal policies can be key catalysts in accelerating PHR development and adoption.
