| Description: We propose a research demonstration project to evaluate whether integrating the functions of an electronic medical record, personal health record, and communication system leads to more patient-centered care in rural communities in the Intermountain West. This system, which we call the Unified Health Resource (UHR), combines the patient controlled personal health record with the ability to read and, if necessary, improve the accuracy of the information in the electronic medical record. |
