Personal Health Records

I began using a personal health record yesterday. It is going to take me some time to compile my historical health care data, and in many cases I will have to make educated guesses. However, I'm looking forward to having a complete health history compiled in one location. Currently, my complete health history picture is fragmented across multiple providers, pharmacies and government agencies.

I read on THCB that Matthew Holt recently gave a PHR presentation at HIMSS. Matthew is relatively bullish on the potential of PHRs, but he thinks interoperability is going to be a major hurdle.
