[Openid-specs-heart] EHR, PHR, FHIR resources.

[Dale Moberg]

Hi

I am still refining my grip on assorted terminology that reveals aspects of the "business model" contexts for discussing our use cases.

I just read the wikipedia entries for PHR and EhR (I know, but you have to start somewhere), at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record  and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record

Nominally viewed, there appears to be substantial intersections of the resource types (in a loose FHIR usage) found in these EhR and PHR records.

At https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record#EHRs.2C_PHRs.2C_patient_portals_and_UHRs it is maintained that the "ownership" of the records is the primary semantic contrast between the terms. Interesting.

I am particularly even more motivated in getting some information about the following statement:

"There are two methods by which data can arrive in a PHR.[1]<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record#cite_note-Tang-1> A patient may enter it directly, either by typing into fields or uploading/transmitting data from a file or another website. The second is when the PHR is tethered to an electronic health record, which automatically updates the PHR."

Does anyone know the "BLT" pertaining to the "tethering" process? Is this tethering something that is currently actually in operation, or is it mainly imagined as emerging once FHIR dstu-X is completed? (And maybe UMA and HEART completed also?)

 (Adrian offered to help some of us with the terminology, so I am taking him ( and anyone else) up on the offer!)
