Tolven Healthcare Innovations: "The electronic Personal Health Record enables consumers to proactively ensure that their health providers have the latest information to guide them in their decision making. An electronic Personal Health Record provides the consumer with an intuitive web-based application to create, view, store and share healthcare information about themselves or on behalf of those they look after (e.g., aged relatives, children and those with disabilities); to communicate with their care providers; and to access needed health-related information relating to their specific conditions through the power of the internet; and to simply perform mundane tasks, like re-filling a prescription for themselves or one of their dependents - all with a minimum of effort.
Uniquely, the electronic Personal Health Record is not simply a static record keeping device. The electronic Personal Health Record enables the consumer to selectively include information that a care provider has collected, thus allowing the consumer to easily and securely make a partial or comprehensive view of their medical information available to other care providers. Just imagine visiting your doctor's office and not having to complete any forms because all of the information needed is already available on-line. A consumer granting emergency service providers access to their personal health record will potentially avoid unnecessary risks and delays in treatment. "
