Abstract
Introduction: The personal health record (PHR) makes it possible for patients to access, manage, track, and share their health information. By engaging patients in chronic disease care, they will be active members in decision-making and healthcare management.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify the functions and outcomes of PHR for patients with four major groups of chronic diseases (cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, and chronic respiratory diseases).
Method: A systematic review was conducted on studies published in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase. Searching and screening were performed using the keyword of "Personal Health Record" without time limitation, and ended in August 2018.
Results: In total, 3742 studies were retrieved, 35 of which met the inclusion criteria. Out of these 35, 18 studies were conducted in the United States, 24 studies were related to patients with diabetes, and 32 studies focused on tethered PHRs. Moreover, in 25 studies, the function of viewing and reading medical records and personal health information was provided for three groups of chronic patients. Results showed that the use of PHRs helps the management and control of chronic diseases (10 studies).
Conclusion: It is recommended that integrated PHRs with comprehensive functions and features were designed in order to support patient independence and empowerment in self-management, decrease the number of referrals to health centers, and reduce the costs imposed on families and society.
简介:个人健康记录(PHR)使患者能够访问、管理、跟踪和共享他们的健康信息。通过让患者参与慢性病护理,他们将成为决策和医疗保健管理的积极成员。目的:本研究旨在确定四大类慢性疾病(心血管疾病、癌症、糖尿病和慢性呼吸系统疾病)患者的PHR功能和结果。方法:系统回顾PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science和Embase上发表的相关研究。以“个人健康档案”为关键词进行检索筛选,无时间限制,截止到2018年8月。结果:共检索到3742项研究,其中35项符合纳入标准。在这35项研究中,有18项研究是在美国进行的,24项研究与糖尿病患者有关,32项研究侧重于栓系phrr。此外,在25项研究中,为三组慢性患者提供了查看和阅读病历和个人健康信息的功能。结果表明,使用PHRs有助于慢性病的管理和控制(10项研究)。结论:建议设计功能全面的综合医疗责任档案,以支持患者自主和自主管理,减少转诊次数,降低家庭和社会的成本。
