Abstract:
It has been long noted that there is a shift in patterns of disease toward chronic illness. This shift necessitates a process that will support and encourage involvement of the patient in their own care, improve coordination of treatment among multiple providers, use reminders to keep preventive medicine and screening programs up to date and provide the up-to-date clinical information needed for treatment planning. There currently exists no process that does this using a patient centered approach. The Patient Personal Medical Record creates and supports a patient centered process that can be used in a variety of paper-based and electronic formats to improve coordination of treatment among multiple providers, remind patients of the need to stay up-to-date with preventive medicine programs and provide a method to supply the up-to-date clinical information needed for treatment planning.
