Personal health records (PHRs) consist of medical records that the consumer collects from each of their healthcare providers, plus any health information that the consumer adds. Sharing information from the PHR with providers enables the consumer and provider to work together. Use of data in the PHR can help reduce or eliminate duplicate procedures or processes. This helps save time and healthcare dollars. It can help the consumer receive better, more coordinated healthcare. In addition, PHRs will eventually have the impact of empowering consumers as never before to make informed healthcare choices and have a positive impact on the overall cost of healthcare. This article is part of a series of unpublished essays titled A Community View on How Personal Health Records Can Improve Patient Care and Outcomes in Many Healthcare Settings, a collaborative project of Northern Illinois Physicians For Connectivity and the Coalition for Quality and Patient Safety of Chicagoland.

个人健康记录（PHR）由消费者从其每位医疗服务提供者处收集的医疗记录，以及消费者添加的任何健康信息组成。与医疗服务提供者共享个人健康记录中的信息能使消费者和提供者共同协作。使用个人健康记录中的数据有助于减少或消除重复的程序或流程。这有助于节省时间和医疗费用。它能帮助消费者获得更好、更协调的医疗服务。此外，个人健康记录最终将以前所未有的方式增强消费者的能力，使其能够做出明智的医疗选择，并对医疗保健的总体成本产生积极影响。本文是一系列未发表文章的一部分，这些文章题为《社区视角：个人健康记录如何在多种医疗环境中改善患者护理和治疗结果》，是北伊利诺伊州医生互联互通组织与芝加哥地区质量与患者安全联盟的合作项目。如需了解如何获取完整作品的副本，请通过Stash5@sbcglobal.net联系负责人斯塔西亚·卡恩博士。
