Healthcare Directive
In December 2006, The Connecting for Health Personal Health Technology Council released A Common Framework for Networked Personal Health Information that identified a model for integrating consumer-centric health IT applications across the health care delivery system. The Framework builds on the fundamental design elements of earlier versions of the Connecting for Health Common Framework model and describes a networked environment in which consumers could securely exchange their personal health information. The Framework is a federated, decentralized network of networks that permits consumers and other stakeholders to direct "information from disparate data sources into electronic health records, including PHRs." However, currently, nearly all existing PHR implementations are centralized; there are no implementation examples of the federated PHR model as described in the Common Framework.
