Answer to Question 1

Patients may establish their own records through the iHealth Record. The iHealth Record is a personal medical record that the patient can create and maintain at no cost. An electronic PHR is a person's health information in electronic form. It belongs to the individual and is available to him or her on any Web-enabled device. It may include any relevant health information, including your primary care doctor's name and phone number; your allergies, including drug allergies; your medications, including dosages; any chronic health problems you may have, such as high blood pressure; major surgeries, with dates; and your living will or advance directives. The PHR can be used in emergencies to alert emergency personnel to necessary information as well as during routine doctor visits. You are in control of your PHR and can share it with whomever you choose. You can also add information on blood pressure, exercise habits, and smoking that you gather between doctor visits. The PHR can help you keep track of appointments, necessary vaccinations and screening tests, and preventive services. As of August 2, 2010, veterans can download their PHRs from their MyHealthVet accounts, allowing them to control the information and share it with health care providers.
