Personal Health Records (PHRs) are poised to improve patient safety, however the mechanism(s) in which they improve safety is not clear. To this end, we conducted a scoping review with the following objectives: 1) explore the extent of the evidence that PHRs improve patient safety, 2) determine where PHR research has been done per International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Represented Region [1], 3) to identify the PHR naming convention(s) used per IMIA Region [1]. The findings revealed that there is limited evidence that PHRs improve patient safety. The results also revealed heterogeneity in PHR nomenclature and how they were used in healthcare settings. However, the overarching theme of the study, was that future research is needed to ensure that PHRs are designed and used in a patient safety context with human factors and usability considerations.
个人健康记录 (PHR) 有望提高患者安全性，但它们提高安全性的机制尚不清楚。为此，我们进行了范围界定审查，目的如下：1）探讨 PHR 提高患者安全性的证据程度，2）确定国际医学信息学协会 (IMIA) 代表的区域 [1] 中进行了哪些 PHR 研究，3）确定每个 IMIA 区域 [1] 使用的 PHR 命名约定。研究结果表明，有有限的证据表明 PHR 可以提高患者安全性。结果还显示了 PHR 命名的异质性以及它们在医疗保健环境中的使用方式。然而，这项研究的首要主题是，需要进行未来的研究，以确保 PHR 是在考虑人为因素和可用性的情况下，以患者安全为背景进行设计和使用的。
