The Indiana University Health Center in February started offering students the opportunity to create and maintain personal health records via a secure page on the Bloomington-based school’s student Web portal.
The PHR serves dual purposes, says Pete Grogg, associate director at the health center. It will help streamline administrative procedures, such as the completion of intake forms prior to an appointment. In addition, it should bridge the mobility gap of students whose regular physician remains in their hometown. With the PHR, students can show caregivers treatment received at home and the university, Grogg explains. “We’re enabling a process where providers feel they’re getting better information in the care process.”
