Late last year, HL-7’s Electronic Health Record Technical Committee moved the industry one step closer to a Personal Health Record System Functional Model  (PHR-S FM). The model became a draft ANSI standard in Dec. 2007, and the final standard is expected sometime this year. Read the press release from HL-7 about the draft standard here.

PHR-S FM is designed to be technology–neutral. It also promotes interoperability, and so will require best of breed collaboration between vendors. Nuesoft is a member of the American Health Information Management Association, which has been instrumental in moving the PHR functional model and standard forward. In addition, Nuesoft has been forging partnerships and integrations with EHR companies and other vendors that have embraced the future of health care and that are committed to the adoption of industry standards.
