Abstract
A Personal Health Record (PHR) is an electronic record where an individual can create and maintain information related to their health. There are many components and benefits to a PHR. A few of those components are using correct information, knowing more about your care, and sharing information with your family. There are also many activities available on the Internet that individuals can do, some of which are communicating with a healthcare provider and searching for information online about a health condition. The goal of this paper is to explore whether or not professionals in healthcare or health information technology professions use personal health records and consumer health information technology more than the general public.
