<div>Hi</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am still refining my grip on assorted terminology that reveals aspects of the “business model” contexts for discussing our use cases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just read the wikipedia entries for PHR and EhR (I know, but you have to start somewhere), at</div>
<div><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record</a> and</div>
<div><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_health_record</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Nominally viewed, there appears to be substantial intersections of the resource types (in a loose FHIR usage) found in these EhR and PHR records.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record#EHRs.2C_PHRs.2C_patient_portals_and_UHRs">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record#EHRs.2C_PHRs.2C_patient_portals_and_UHRs</a> it is maintained that the “ownership” of the records
is the primary semantic contrast between the terms. Interesting.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am particularly even more motivated in getting some information about the following statement:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"There are two methods by which data can arrive in a PHR.<sup id="cite_ref-Tang_1-1" class="reference"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record#cite_note-Tang-1">[1]</a></sup> 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.” </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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?) </div>
<br>
<div> (Adrian offered to help some of us with the terminology, so I am taking him ( and anyone else) up on the offer!)</div>
