The advent of personal health records has presented both advantages and disadvantages. A health system in Pennsylvania has incorporated an approach to increase utilization of this technology by providing personal portals to affiliated patients and incorporating the individual record with the electronic record in the hospital, which allowed the patients to view test results after review by the physician.
