Abstract
This invention relates to electronic medical records and in particular records that are owned, managed, and controlled by a patient or a person with appropriate authorization to act for the patient, and, in particular, to the establishment and management of a PHR (electronic personal health record) for efficient and effective presentation to a user. The invention also relates to creating structured medical information within the PHR and the differential presentation of that information such that immediate determinations of reliability can be made on the quality and accuracy of the medical information. Further, the invention relates to a PHR that is apportioned into active and inactive area such that only active portions are viewed by health-care providers who are granted routine access. This maximizes the information presented to the provider and minimizes the provider'"'"'s need to review non-relevant and/or especially sensitive information. The invention also provides for archived files for the maintenance of PHR information.
