Widespread adoption of information technology is now regarded as a pathway to improving health care and achieving the Institute of Medicine's highly regarded six aims for redesigning care. Achieving these aims requires fresh approaches to health system design, including continuous healing relationships between physicians and patients and provision of tools to help patients be more active participants in their own care. Personal health records (PHRs) might allow patients and providers to develop new ways of collaborating and provide the basis for broader transformation of the health care system. Federal policies can be key catalysts in accelerating PHR development and adoption.
如今，信息技术的广泛应用被视为改善医疗保健以及实现医学研究所备受推崇的医疗保健重新设计六大目标的途径。要实现这些目标，需要采用全新的医疗系统设计方法，包括医生与患者之间持续的治疗关系，以及提供工具帮助患者更积极地参与自身护理。个人健康记录（PHR）可能使患者和医疗服务提供者开发出新的协作方式，并为医疗保健系统的更广泛变革提供基础。联邦政策可能是加速个人健康记录发展和采用的关键催化剂。
