From EHR to PHR: A Practical Personal Health Record
Download PDF
The market will not wait. While the healthcare sector struggles with definition and implementation of electronic health records (EHR), personal health record (PHR) options are many, varied and welcomed by consumers. Dr.Eric Silfen discusses a PHR developed by Columbia University, and the nexus of the PHR with the EHR.

What They See and What They Get: Healthcare Information on the Web
Download PDF
The amount and quality of health related information available to consumers on the web is staggering. Many patients now arrive with an array of Google-ed miscellany to support decision making. Dr. David Masuda will discuss what’s available to the consumer, and the implications of that access to providers.

As the American senior population doubles over the next two decades, we face a daunting challenge of improving the quality of care, while somehow reducing our overall healthcare costs. To meet that challenge, we must employ innovative technologies that enable prevention, early detection, less invasive interventions, increased compliance and new modes of remote caregiving and family support. Linda Reeder will guide participants in an examination of informatics at the heart of the new paradigm.

Genetically Informed Health Care
How will genetic information ultimately support heath care? A vision of some of the impacts to consumers of health care brought about by new advances in applying our understanding of the human genome to health and disease will be presented. Examples, such as new approaches to the prescription of drugs based on a patient's genetic variations (pharmacogenomics), will highlight the amazing power and progress being made in looking at the genomes of entire populations of humans, and understanding our similarities and differences.
