Community Education

How do I create my personal health record?

How do I use my personal health record?

Who else has access to my health information? 

Why should I keep a personal health record?

How do health insurance companies use my health information? 

What is a medical record?

How is my health information collected and where does it go?

These are a few of the questions that can be answered with our  free public education program entitled "Your Personal Health Information: How to Access, Manage, and Protect it."

The goal of the program is to teach participants how to maintain a personal health record (PHR). The PHR is a collection of important information about your health that you actively maintain and update. The information comes from your healthcare providers and from you. It can include anything that affects health, including information that doctors may not have, such as your exercise regimen, dietary habits, and over-the-counter medications.

The PHR enables the patient to partner with healthcare providers, may reduce or eliminate duplicate procedures or processes, gives knowledge that assists in preparation for appointments, and overall gives a more intimate knowledge of health information for a more active role in preventative care and management.

The presentation lasts for about one hour. For more information about the program, or to schedule a presentation for your group, please email us at PHR@arhima.org.
