I think your point about needing to automate the PHR process is right on. This is going to be a critical success factor, right along with trust, interoperability, and transportability.

What will it take for the average MD to trust the PHR's data enough to use it? I think the real utility of a PHR won't be realized until it's seen and used by docs other than the patient's PCP - or any doc at all, for that matter.
