Do You Have a Personal Health Record?

As an "accidental prostate cancer survivor," I'm now a big fan of personal health records (PHR) and annually reviewing what's contained in those records. A movement toward creating PHR's is underway. Microsoft has their Health Vault and Google has released the beta version of Google Health. I've just started to test them so I can't provide an evaluation, but it's a step in the right direction. The Robert Woods Johnson Foundation has an innovation program underway to move the PHP movement forward. Just visit the Project HealthDesign, a RWJF program, to see program details. Send us a note with your experiences if you are using a PHR.
