title: Application of the relationship-based care model to improve health outcomes via the electronic personal health record.
abstract: This article examines the metaparadigm of the relationship-based care (RBC) model in health care delivery, delineates selected characteristics of the electronic personal health record (ePHR), provides an example of how RBC applies to integration of the ePHR in the health care delivery setting, discusses the utility of RBC for interprofessional collaboration using the ePHR, and examines how application of RBC in conjunction with the ePHR has the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes.
