What is a PHR?
We all make decisions based on the information that is available to us. More complete and more accurate information allow for better quality decisions. A personal health record (PHR) provides more complete and more accurate information to health care providers, allowing for better quality health decisions.
A PHR should contain four types of information:
- Personal - name, address, contact info
- Medical - Doctor visits, ER visits, diagnostic tests
- Medicinal - Prescriptions and supplements
- Observational - diet, exercise, research notes and questions, reactions to medicines or environments
Maintaining a PHR in a SO TELL ME... personal health organizer is the ideal way to provide the complete picture of a person's health to healthcare providers, and reduce the stress of trying to remember details. Fifteen categories of information and 20 different styles of forms make it a single, highly organized and accurate source for virtually every aspect of an individual's health record.
