Electronic Personal Health Records

Background: The HITECH Act signed into law in 2009 requires hospitals to provide patients with electronic access to their health information through an electronic personal health record (ePHR) in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid incentive payments. Little is known about who uses these systems or the impact these systems will have on patient outcomes in HIV care. The health care empowerment model provides rationale for the hypothesis that knowledge from an electronic personal health record can lead to greater patient empowerment resulting in improved outcomes. Objective: To determine the patient characteristics and patient activation, empowerment, satisfaction, knowledge of their CD4, Viral Loads, and antiretroviral medication, and medication adherence outcomes associated with electronic personal health record use in Veterans living with HIV at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. Participants: HIV-Infected Veterans receiving care in a low volume HIV-clinic at the San Francisco VA Medical Center, divided into two groups of users and non-users of electronic personal health records. Methods: In-person surveys were completed either online or on paper and data abstraction was completed from medical records for current anti-retroviral therapy (ART), CD4 count, and plasma HIV-1 viral load. Measures: The measures included the Patient Activation Measure, Health Care Empowerment Inventory, ART adherence, provider satisfaction, current CD4 count, current plasma viral load, knowledge of current ART, knowledge of CD4 counts, and knowledge of viral load. Results: In all, 40 participants were recruited. The use of electronic personal health records was associated with significantly higher levels of patient activation and levels of patient satisfaction for getting timely appointments, care, and information. ePHR was also associated with greater proportions of undetectable plasma HIV-1 viral loads, of knowledge of current CD4 count, and of knowledge of current viral load. The two groups differed by race and computer access. There was no difference in the current CD4, provider satisfaction, Health Care Empowerment Inventory score, satisfaction with provider-patient communication, satisfaction with courteous and helpful staff, knowledge of ART, or ART adherence. Conclusions: The use of electronic personal health records is associated with positive clinical and behavioral characteristics. The use of these systems may play a role in improving the health of people with HIV. Larger studies are needed to further evaluate these associations.

This chapter provides an overview of mobile personal health record (MPHR) systems. A Mobile personal health record is an eclectic application through which patients can access, manage, and share their health information from a mobile device in a private, confidential, and secure environment. Personal health records have evolved over the past three decades from a small card or booklet with immunizations recorded into fully functional mobile accessible portals, and it is the PHR evolution outside of the secure healthcare environment that is causing some concerns regarding privacy. Specifically, the chapter reviews the extant literature on critical evaluative components to be considered when assessing MPHR systems.

The e-health is information technology in the health systems that can be used by both health workers and clients. Ehealth applications can be based on computers, the internet or smartphones. This study aims to discuss the types of e-health that can be used for health monitoring using smartphones in community setting. Data collection was carried out through electronic database, namely EBSCO, Proquest, Sciencedirect, Scopus, Springerlink and Google Scholar. The e-health that can be used to carry out health promotion and monitor the health status of clients was remote mobile health monitoring. This application was integrated with the internet and smartphone so that clients and health workers can monitor the development of the client's health status. The application that can be used to document medical history was a personal health record both internet and computer integrated so that it can be accessed by clients. Community nurses and primary care institutions are expected to be able to design and use this application to monitor and record the health status of clients in the community.

Diabetes Melitus

ABSTRAKDiabetes melitus merupakan salah satu dari empat masalah penyakit tidak menular tertinggi di dunia. Pada tahun 2015 jumlah kasus dengan diabetes tipe 2 mencapai 415 juta, 425 juta pada tahun 2017, dan 629 juta diperkirakan tahun 2045 di dunia. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai manfaat penggunaan Personal Health Records dalam pengelolaan diabetes melitus tipe 2. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode systematic review berdasarkan protokol PRISMA dan pencarian melalui empat database elektronik (PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, dan SpingerLink). Kriteria inklusi adalah artikel tentang informatika kesehatan, pengelolaan diabetes tipe 2, penggunaan Personal Health Records, dan diterbitkan tahun 2012-2018. Pencarian awal mendapatkan 539 artikel penelitian, yang setelah kriteria ekslusi didapatkan 7 artikel yang dianalisis. Manfaat Personal Health Records adalah catatan kesehatan menjadi lengkap, meningkatkan kesadaran untuk mengelola diabetes tipe 2, dan mendorong perubahan perilaku pasien. Pasien yang mengelola diabetesnya dapat mengurangi risiko gagal ginjal (87%), kebutaan (72%), gejala neuropati (68%), dan amputasi ekstremitas bawah (67%). Personal Health Records dapat mendorong partisipasi pasien dalam kontrol kesehatan individu, yang memungkinkan pasien untuk memantau aktivitas fisik mereka sendiri, diet, berat badan, glikemik, kadar glukosa, untuk mengakses pengetahuan terkait diabetes.Kata Kunci:  Diabetes Tipe 2; Pengelolaan Diabetes; Personal Health Records; Perilaku Pasien

IntroductionPatient portals or personal health records allow patients to access their health information and communicate with their physician’s office outside of their clinic visit. As such, their use has been observed to increase patient engagement and decrease administrative costs. Despite these advantages, patient adoption and successful use of patient portals remains low. Here we assess the feasibility and efficacy of an iBooks-based tutorial in increasing comfort and compliance with personal health record use.MethodsWe created and published a 5-min iBooks-based tutorial describing our institution’s patient portal features. We administered the tutorial, along with presurvey and postsurvey, to ophthalmology clinic patients.ResultsOf 70 participants, 50% had already registered for our institution’s patient portal. Registered patients had viewed labs (74%, n=26) and messaged providers (57%, n=20) but rarely used other features such as scheduling appointments (17%, n=6) or requesting refills (26%, n=9). After the tutorial, comfort levels in knowledge on how to use portal features increased by 20%–80%, depending on portal feature and registration status. Main barriers to portal usage were preference for telephone-based communication (26%, n=18) and knowledge of portal existence (21%, n=15). The majority (86%, n=60) agreed the tutorial would increase their utilisation of the patient portal.ConclusionTutorials increase knowledge and awareness of patient portal features, allowing these features to be fully used. An iBooks-based approach allows patients to successfully access and use tutorial content outside of the clinic.
