Patient-Centered Health Information Technology (PCHIT) Blog » Patient AND Family Centered, using the PHR to connect with everyone: "One of the things I have noticed in the era of the EHR/PHR is that there is always someone else or others supporting patients that are not with them physically. This part isn’t new, but my ability to support that vital group (families and community) is.
What I do, then, is use the After Visit Summary to compose a letter to that person or people, with the patient helping me write it. The “letter” is printed out on the hard copy, and then permanently stored for viewing on the PHR of course."
This is a great idea - write a summary letter not just to the family physician, but to the caregiver as well !
