| Abstract |
|
Personal Health Record (PHR) has recently been drawing attention due to the an ever-increasing interests of ubiquitous healthcare. Diverse approaches have been proposed to implement PHR at home and abroad. In this review, we propose a hospital-oriented PHR system for the future direction of medical information system. If a hospital-oriented PHR system is implemented, hospitals can increase the quality of medical care by providing personalized medical services to the individual patients and the reliability of health records in PHR can be significantly improved. For this purpose, we first investigate the definition of PHR and then address diverse issues to be tackled prior to implementation of the hospital-oriented PHR system. |
