The Twitter #hcsmeu Daily. Health Record Resources. Background: After President George W. Bush’s announcement in 2004 which set a goal of having universal electronic medical records by the year 2015, the process of using health information technology to establish electronic record systems began to accelerate. This push for electronic health records (EHR) and electronic medical records (EMR) opened the door, advancing and placing similar technology in the hands of consumers.
Consumers were being encouraged to have their own personal health record (PHR). In the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 Americans witnessed just how fragile paper based health record systems really were. Benefits of PHRs: Personal health records are known to benefit patients in a number of ways including: Empowerment of patients. Improved patient-provider relationships. Increased patient safety. Improved quality of care. More efficient delivery of care. Better safeguards on health information privacy. Greater cost savings.

Health care is a personal issue that has become wholly public--as the national debate over reforming our system makes painfully clear. But what's often lost in the gun-toting Town Hall debates about the issue is a clear vision about how medicine could work in the future. In this feature article, frog design uses its people-centered design discipline to show how elegant health and life science technology solutions will one day become a natural part of our behavior and lifestyle.
What you see here is the result of frog's ongoing collaboration with health-care providers, insurers, employers, consumers, governments, and technology companies. You can join the conversation too: this Thursday October 8 at noon eastern, frog will hold a discussion about the future of health care on Twitter (follow the hash tag #futureofhealthcare). You can also download a .pdf version of this article from the last page. - Noah Robischon, editor.

March 25, 2010 Europeans – physicians and consumers alike – are much more receptive to the use of social media for health information than are their American counterparts, a Digitas Health study suggests. For the study, Kantar Health surveyed 1,000 physicians and consumers in the US and Europe on their use of social media. Among the findings: Sixty-seven percent of European consumers said they trust the information they find in social-media venues. Only 45% of American consumers agreed. Fifty-two percent of European physicians said healthcare professionals should participate in discussions in patient forums and social networks, compared to only 41% of US physicians.
Similarly, 41% of European doctors believe social media will play an increasingly important role in shaping their patient management and treatment, versus only 23% of US physicians. Social media is also being used by general practitioners to help identify resources for patients, the survey found.
