With the proliferation of USB flash drives, people would not be too intimidated with USB key dongles. Even though this does add to the cost of the PHP solution my privacy is worth the key and associated management costs. Second factor authentication (deals with man-in-the-middle attacks) such as used by Yahoo! and Bank of America would be a helpful feature.

Also, portability must include the ability for the user to create and maintain an encrypted backup of the entire PHR on their computing device.

Lastly, the PHR should be the primary record of the patient’s information and it must be under the exclusive control of the patient or patient’s representative. This shifts the balance of power from the health care providers, third-party payers, and their regulators to the patient. If a provider or a payer needs information then they have to go to the patient and get permission for it.

Now that is a wish list for PHR to aspire to.

Happy Holidays
