A qualitative study of how patients with type 2 diabetes use an electronic stand-alone personal health record.
The authors explored how patients with type 2 diabetes used a personal health record (PHR) to manage their diabetes-related health information for self-care. They found that, despite some potential positive benefits resulting from PHR use, several barriers inhibited sustained and effective use over time. They concluded that provider and patient education about the benefits of PHR use and about the potential for filling in information gaps in the provider-based record is key to engage patients and stimulate PHR adoption and use.
