“…The Markle Foundation () has defined PHR as “an electronic application through which individuals can access, manage and share their health information, and that of others for whom they are authorized, in a private, secure, and confidential environment.” As its definition is still evolving (AHIMA, ; Markle Foundation, ; Pratt, Unruh, Civan, & Skeels, ), currently there is no concrete specification over all the functionalities and objectives that should be included in a PHR. Furthermore, there are several variations as to how it has been named, for example, electronic Personal Health Records (ePHRs) (Bourgeois, Taylor, Emans, Nigrin, & Mandl, ; Choemprayong, Oh, & Sheble, ; Markle Foundation, ; Pagliari, Detmer, & Singleton, ; Simons, Mandl, & Kohane, ; Steele & Min, ; Steinbrook, ; Zeng, Bodenreider, & Nelson, ) or Personal Health Information Management System (PHIMS) (Pratt et al., ; Wang, Lau, Matsen, & Kim, ) or Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records (PCEHR) (DoHA, ).…”
