HIT: Personal health record conference

Claremont Graduate University, which hosted a conference on personal health records (PHR) this past weekend, announced that it has been awarded a $1 million grant from the Kay Foundation which will go to establish a center for the study of e-health. Dr. Thomas Horan, associate professor of the School of Information Systems and Technology, will head the center. At the conference, several leaders in the eHealth movement discussed the numerous false starts in the PHR movement. One development highlighted by Blackford Middleton, from the CITL at Harvard's Partners Healthcare, is that roughly 25 of America's leading provider systems now have some form of portal allowing patients to look into at least some of their records or results.
