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

[Glen Marshall [SRS]]

Dale,

A personal example may suffice...

I have a Microsoft Health Vault account.  It is my PHR.  It includes 
data that I have entered and maintain, e.g., current demographics, 
medications, allergies, health events, visits, etc.  It also 
automatically obtains lab results from Quest Diagnostics, which is 
"tethered" to it.  I am hoping that my personal physician's EHR will 
soon be able to be tethered so I don't have to keep manual track of it.  
In lieu of automatic tethering, though, I can import data from patient 
portals to my regular family doctor, my urologist, radiological images, 
blood glucose meter, etc.
