A personal example may suffice...<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<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 moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_health_record</a>
and</div>
<div><a moz-do-not-send="true"
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
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
moz-do-not-send="true"
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>
