  1. My HealtheVet VIReC Clinical Informatics Cyber Seminar Kim Nazi, FACHE Veterans Health Administration April 15, 2008

  2. Presentation Objectives topics • Provide an overview of VA’s My HealtheVet Personal Health Record as a robust set of tools to improve health and health care delivery • Identify how the RE-AIM Performance Evaluation Framework is used to evaluate the My HealtheVet Program • Share implementation strategies and lessons learned for this health information technology best practice • Identify recent collaborations with VA Researchers and current strategies underway to further research collaboration efforts

  3. Personal Health Records PHRs American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA): The PHR as an electronic, universally available, lifelong resource of health information needed by individuals to make health decisions. Individuals own and manage the information in the PHR that is collected from healthcare providers or entered by the individual. The PHR is maintained in a secure and private environment with the individual determining rights of access, it is separate from and does not replace the legal record of any provider. (2003) Markle Foundation Connecting for Health Initiative: The Personal Health Record is an Internet-based set of tools that allows people to access and coordinate their lifelong health information and make appropriate parts available to those who need it. PHRs offer an integrated and comprehensive view of health information, including information people generate themselves. The PHR is a single, person-centered system designed to track and support health activities across one’s entire life experience; it is not limited to a single organization or a single health care provider. (2003)

  4. RWJF Project Health Design: Rethinking the Power and Potential of Personal Health Records Personal Health Records AHIC Consumer Empowerment Workgroup Electronic Personal Health Record (ePHR): An electronic, cumulative record of health-related information on an individual, drawn from multiple sources, that is created, gathered, and managed by the individual. The integrity of the data in the ePHR and control of access to that data is the responsibility of the individual. (Draft, 2008)

  10. Recent Research Collaborations collaboration Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) QUERI Creating a Spinal Cord Injuries/Disorders Condition Center to provide condition-specific education regarding common problems in SCI/D using evidence-based consumer guides, videos and other materials for veterans with SCI/D, their caregivers and their providers. Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) QUERI Enhancing the current Heart Failure Center by adding 2 interactive tools for users (the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnnaire and the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire). Patients will be able to take these online surveys, get the scoring, and then print hard copies to take to their provider.
