According to Bajwa (2014), the electronic Personal Health Record is one of the latest inventions created due to the development of the information systems such as Electronic Medical Record, Electronic Health Record, Health Information Exchange and Nationwide Health Information Network. It allows patients to participate in their treatment and assessment of health status as well as to enhance communication with health care providers (p. 651).

Personal Health Record provides patients with the possibility of entering new data on the state of their health by themselves. It is easy to connect it with the provider’s Electronic Health Record to observe the changes in patients health status.

Regarding the benefits related to the potential use of the electronic Personal Health Record in the management of healthcare information systems, scientists determined the positive outcomes such as improving patient control due to the possibility of monitoring disease management by healthcare providers, the progress, and the patients compliance with the medication dosages prescribed. Furthermore, the implementation of the electronic Personal Health Record technology provides the social network integration by allowing the patients to interact with other patients who experience similar health problems (Bajwa, 2014, p. 651).

In conclusion, the introduction of the electronic Personal Health Record in the healthcare results in improving the patient control due to the possibility of monitoring disease management and progress by health care providers, and the patients following the instructions. Additionally, the electronic Personal Health Record provides the social network integration by providing interaction with other patients to exchange information.
