Real doctor using an EMR and building a PHR

I really like what Stasia Kahn, MD, had to say about Electronic Medical Records.

She is now "exporting PDF Healthcare files to my patients for the purpose of populating an untethered personal health record (PHR). I believe that a patient-directed PHR that has been pre-populated with authoritative data from a primary care physicians’ electronic medical record is the quintessential, longitudinal health record..."

See my earlier post about how hard it is to enter the data yourself. People should begin to see the value added from practitioners that will contribute to the record for them and let those become the more popular providers.
