Borrowing from file permissions and apologies to ReadWriteWeb, we need ReadWriteHealth. Continuation from here.
Paper
A read–only (“RO”) setting, where content cannot be retasked separate from its presentation (paper).
EHR
A read–write (“RW”) setting, where content can be retasked separate from the methods of presentation.
Tethered PHR
Content may be retasked for the provider, but can't be retasked by the person (outside of the tethering context): provider is RW, person is RO.
PHR (person–centric; goal: control)
Content within an independent PHR (however derived) may be retasked by the person, RW; however, lack of access and lack of fidelity may impair provider utility.
Remix (personal–centric; goal: creation of a complete record)
Content may be retasked within a complete record where general control by person (RW) and specific control by provider/others (RW) are common goals (fidelity of records is maintained).
Remix/Action (actions might include: sensors, effectors)
With a singular personal health record, what can the complete record do, in terms of actions, that the myriad of incomplete health records couldn't do? Does this become a form of medical home? Wonder if it's not just a record, but a service?
