Enhancing the Functionalities of Personal Health Record Systems: Empirical Study Based on the HL7 Personal Health Record System Functional Model Release 1.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increasing demand for personal health record (PHR) systems is driven by individuals' desire to actively manage their health care. However, the limited functionality of current PHR systems has affected users' willingness to adopt them, leading to lower-than-expected usage rates. The HL7 (Health Level Seven) PHR System Functional Model (PHR-S FM) was proposed to address this issue, outlining all possible functionalities in PHR systems. Although the PHR-S FM provides a comprehensive theoretical framework, its practical effectiveness and applicability have not been fully explored.

Objective

This study aimed to design and develop a tethered PHR prototype in accordance with the guidelines of the PHR-S FM. It sought to explore the feasibility of applying the PHR-S FM
