The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is working on a project for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology about personal health records (PHRs), rural health and care coordination.
The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) is working on a project for the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology about personal health records (PHRs), rural health and care coordination.
As part of the project, AMIA will be convening stakeholders to discuss their use of PHRs. AMIA seeks to identify practitioners who are using PHRs, practice in rural communities and/or are helping patients with cancer care coordination. Part of the project is to identify potential best practices and lessons learned regarding the ability of patients and their providers to use PHRs to improve care coordination (especially for rural health and cancer care).
If you are interested in possibly participating in the stakeholder discussions and/or for more information, please contact Meryl Bloomrosen, AMIA's Vice President for Public Policy and Government Relations at Meryl@amia.org or 301-657-5917. A brief description of the overall program can be found online.
