Hows Your Health Personal Health Record

A Personal Health Record (PHR) has information that can be helpful for you whenever you see a doctor or nurse. Your PHR is private. This information is stored no where else.

You can print your PHR now. We also recommend you keep your personal health record on your computer or on a "flash drive" (or even a cell phone) so that a doctor or nurse can use the information or import it as TEXT into an electronic health record. You may change your PHR at any time by being connected to the Internet and choosing EDIT PHR or repeating www.howsyourhealth.org.

  • Make sure your medication list is up to date;
  • Understand how to make adjustments in medicines and get help when needed;
  • Make sure that all doctors and nurses involved in your care review your PHR with you;
  • Feel confident that you can manage and control most of your health problems

Planning for Health Changes

The Change I want to make is: (be very specific, what when, how?) Increase exercise to strengthen knee and keep weight in line.

The Steps I will take to reach the Goal: Go to Y every other day and walk with Joe every day at noon.
The things that will make it hard to reach the Goal: Bad weather, laziness.
The ways I can overcome those things that may get in the way: Joe and I have $100 from each other that can be drawn down by $10 for every "miss"
My confidence that I can reach my goal.
