Popis:	The move to electronic and personal health records (PHRs) is being spurred by new incentives offered by President Obama's administration. While the benefits to patients and health care organizations are great, implementation also presents many challenges and pitfalls. This article outlines the types of electronic health records and their uses, barriers to implementation, and issues patients should be aware of when contemplating compiling their own PHRs. A case report of the Veterans Healthcare Administration explains how it is moving toward an integrated health record that enhances patient safety and informed health care options.
