title: The future of personal health records: a summary of a roundtable discussion.
abstract: In 2009, the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement held a roundtable on personal health records (PHRs). Participants shared their thoughts about which features and functions are desired in a PHR, areas that need further exploration, and ways PHRs could make health care more efficient and effective. This article summarizes those discussions.
