Case Study 5
Personal health records can be defined as a collection of an individual’s medical
documentation that is kept by the patient themself (
Personal health record - statpearls - NCBI
bookshelf
). There is a large range of information that is kept in a personal health record. The
patient’s medical history, applicable diagnoses, historical and ongoing medication, past medical
and surgical interventions, immunization status, allergies, blood type, and more are all kept in a
patient’s personal health record. Patient’s should also include their insurance information,
emergency contact, and the contact information of their regular health providers in their
personal health record. Patients are able to add in any additional information they believe may
be helpful, whereas an electronic medical record is kept by a healthcare professional (
Personal
health record - statpearls - NCBI bookshelf
).
There are many different options for personal health records out there. Capterra created
a list of the top 10 personal health records (
Electronic Medical Records Software - review
leading systems
). TherapyNotes is ranked number one with a 4.7 star rating. The key features
of TherapyNotes are appointment scheduling, claims management, clinic interoperability,
handwriting recognition, and more. CentralReach is another personal health record option with a
4.4 star rating. CentralReach offers a patient portal, along with many other features.
Nurses are able to educate patients on what personal health records are and what
options they have. Nurses can guide patients to include information in their personal health
record that is helpful to healthcare professionals. Personal health records are a great resource
for both patients, and healthcare professionals.
