Personal Health Records (PHR)

AHIMA's website, myPHR.com, is a one-stop resource for information on personal health records.  Why are PHR's important?  There are many reasons why maintaining a PHR is very important.  A PHR can:

• be a very effective tool for communicating your health care history with a variety of providers
• eliminate duplicate or unnessary tests
• provide information to health care providers while you are traveling
• keep track of vaccinations and medication changes.

To find out more about AHIMA's "It's HI Time" myPHR campaign and to find out how you can start your own PHR visit www.myPHR.com.
