Access to personal health information assists efforts to improve health outcomes and creates a population of active and informed health consumers. Understanding this significance, Healthy People 2020 retained, as a Focus Area, the need for improved interactive Health Communication and HIT. Attainment of this goal includes increasing the use of Internet-based electronic personal health management tools (EPHMT). Health information management, essential for favorable health outcomes, can be problematic in low income, special needs populations with complex chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS. Furthermore, barriers to the adoption and acceptance of an EPHMT in such populations have not been well explored. The current study seeks to explore the usability of an EPHMT entitled MyHealthProfile and to identify perceived health information needs in a vulnerable population of people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWH) that have access to an EPHMT through their Medicaid Special Needs Plan.
获取个人健康信息有助于改善健康状况，并培养出积极且了解情况的健康消费者群体。认识到这一重要性，《健康人民2020》将改善交互式健康沟通和健康信息技术作为一个重点领域予以保留。实现这一目标包括增加基于互联网的电子个人健康管理工具（EPHMT）的使用。健康信息管理对良好的健康状况至关重要，但在低收入、有特殊需求且患有诸如艾滋病毒/艾滋病等复杂慢性病的人群中可能会出现问题。此外，此类人群采用和接受EPHMT的障碍尚未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在探索一款名为MyHealthProfile的EPHMT的可用性，并确定通过医疗补助特殊需求计划能够使用EPHMT的艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWH）这一弱势群体中人们所感知到的健康信息需求。
