Abstract
A system and method for integrating consumer-controlled portable electronic medical records with medical providers uses a portable electronic health record that interfaces with both the consumer and health providers. The consumer can access information in the portable electronic health record and add information when necessary. A subscription service controls the ability of health providers to access the information on the portable electronic health record, and the transfer of information is done via secure communication links, thus avoiding privacy issues associated with information being sent over the Internet. The ability to read, write or modify information can be made specific to the particular health provider, and an access file can be generated so that the consumer can monitor who has been accessing information on the portable electronic health record.
