Consumer Empowerment Workgroup
At its November 29, 2005, meeting, the American Health Information Community (the Community) recommended the formation of a workgroup on consumer empowerment. The Community further recommended that this workgroup develop a plan to realize a specific charge (deployment of pre-populated electronic registrations and medication histories) within one year that is visible to the American public and that works towards a broader charge (widespread adoption of personal health records) over time. The meetings of this workgroup are public and meeting materials are available to the public.
Charges will help the Community make recommendations based on the most
complete information.
Broad Charge for the Workgroup:
Make recommendations to the Community to gain wide spread adoption
of a personal health record that is easy-to-use, portable, longitudinal,
affordable, and consumer-centered.
Specific Charge for the Workgroup:
Make recommendations to the Community so that within one year,
a pre-populated, consumer-directed and secure electronic registration
summary is available
to targeted populations. Make additional recommendations to the
Community so that within one year, a widely available pre-populated
medication
history linked to the registration summary is deployed.
