From Stephen Downs, senior program officer and deputy director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Group.

The current understanding of a PHR is of an online repository of all of the information in your medical record—and that is way too limiting. We want to stretch the vision so that technology designers and policy-makers see PHRs as resources that don’t just allow patients to review their medical information, but instead enable them to make more informed decisions because of it.
