PERSONAL HEALTH
RECORDS: Hurricane Katrina helped
to make Tom Rockwood, the presenter in this
self-paced PowerPoint, aware of the importance of
having a Personal Health Record in times of
emergency. The care of grandchildren and
elderly parents has further demonstrated their
importance as he has come into contact with medical
professionals who are under increasing cost and time
pressures and innovative technologies improve
diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. Patient
responsibility and participation in the management
of their healthcare requires a place to record and
track details and serve as reminders.
The transition to more effective, personalized
medicine based upon an individual's DNA will help to
control rising costs and increase efficiencies.
Using a PHR to organize and manage the growing
volume of medical data will be increasingly
important as a person grows older and requires
increased assistance.
Tom Rockwood is a
founding member of IDentometric Solutions, L.L.C.,
developer of Lifelong Personal Health Record(™
software and founder and president of Rockwood
Management Services, a strategic management and
technology consultancy and originator of Outcome
Improvement.
