The use of online personal health records (PHRs) threatens to transform the digital divide to a health care divide among the underserved. Little is known about underserved patients' ability to access online PHRs. We examined these factors among patients within safety-net practices. Among respondents (N = 654), only 12% had no experience of using a computer, and most were interested in using it to communicate with their provider. Age, sex, and race were not associated with interest in PHRs. A majority of patients have access to the Internet and are interested in using a PHR to manage their care, but they are not prepared.
在线个人健康记录（PHR）的使用可能会将数字鸿沟转变为服务不足人群之间的医疗保健鸿沟。对于服务不足患者访问在线PHR的能力，我们了解甚少。我们在安全网医疗机构的患者中研究了这些因素。在受访者（N = 654）中，只有12%没有使用电脑的经验，并且大多数人有兴趣使用电脑与他们的医疗服务提供者进行沟通。年龄、性别和种族与对PHR的兴趣无关。大多数患者可以访问互联网，并且有兴趣使用PHR来管理他们的医疗保健，但他们并未做好准备。
