Patient Health Record (PHR)
A Patient Health Record (PHR) is an organized collection of your personal health information, managed and maintained by you or your healthcare provider. It includes details like medical history, medications, allergies, test results, and treatment plans. The purpose of a PHR is to give you a clear and comprehensive view of your health, improve communication with healthcare providers, and support better decision-making. Having a PHR helps ensure accuracy, continuity of care, and quick access to essential health data when needed, ultimately empowering you to take an active role in managing your health.
