Medicare Pilot Program To Test Personal Health Records
June 26, 2007
The participants in this pilot program are:
- HIP USA – New York’s largest HMO;
- Humana;
- Kaiser Permanente; and
- University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
Each group will have unique PHR tools but all will own their health record and only share it with who they choose. The pilot program will last 18 months in order to determine what PHR features are helpful to Medicare beneficiaries. The story did not state whether the participants will be allowed to keep their PHRs after that time, however.
