In a time and age where over 4.6 billion mobile phone subscriptions reach across the globe (The Associated Press, 2010), it is no surprise that personal health records; also known as PHRs, are coming to the forefront of health care. Much like the cell phone, personal health records are a great communication tool. Wager, Wickham Lee, and Glaser (2009), define a personal health record as “An electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to nationally recognized interoperability standards and that can be drawn from multiple sources while being managed, shared, and controlled by the individual” (Wager, Wickham Lee, & Glaser, 2009, p. 5). In short, a personal health record is an electronic record of a persons health history. A record that the individual can access from practically anywhere; home, office, or even their own cell phone, anytime, day or night. Anywhere you can access the mainframe database from, you can access your information.Personal health records work by transmitting an individual’s health records to a centralized databank, also sometimes referred to as a health record bank. Each respective health care provider, whether it be a doctor, dentist, pharmacist, dietician, fitness instructor, or even the school nurse, would have access to the individual’s health record bank where they would record their interaction with that individual, and would also be able to check their diagnosis and prescription requests against those of the individual’s other health care providers.
