Personal Health Record (PHR) Advisory Task Force

In an effort to provide broader consumer and industry strategic guidance for its new Personal Health Record (PHR) certification development, the Certification Commission assembled a special PHR Advisory Task Force.

This volunteer task force, composed of advocacy organizations, health care providers and businesses, with consumer health care and PHR experience, assisted the Commission in assessing the current landscape and advising on the appropriate direction for the PHR Work Group.
