What is a Personal Health Record (PHR)?

A PHR is a file with all your healthcare information in one place, allowing you to find and share with doctors, details about your health, medical claims or medical records. MyMedicare.gov has a new feature called “Blue Button”. This new feature provides you an easy way to download your personal health information to a file.

A PHR can contain the following: Identification Sheet, Problem List, Medication Record, History and Physical, Progress Notes, Consultations, Physician’s Orders, Imaging and X-ray Reports , lab Reports, Immunization Record and Consent and Authorization Forms
