HL7 EHRS-FM Release 2: Personal Health Record System Functional Model, Release 2 (PHR-S FM)

A personal health record system (PHR-S) involves a patient-centric tool that is mostly controlled by the individual PHR account holder. This document defines a standardised model of the functions that may be present in a PHR-S. It specifies the features and functions necessary to create and effectively manage PHRs and that help an individual view their health history. A PHR-S should be able to link to other systems and may be comprised of information from a number of sources (such as from providers and health plans, as well as from the individual).

This functional model is divided into 4 sections: Personal Health, Supportive, Record Infrastructure, and Trust Infrastructure.
