Health informatics – HL7 Personal Health Record System Functional Model, Release 2 (PHR-S FM)

This document defines a standardised model of the functions that may be present in personal health record (PHR) systems. This PHR System Functional Model (PHR-S FM) is a generic model for a variety of patient-centric tools that help individuals maintain a longitudinal view of their health history.

The information exchange enabled by a PHR-S supports the retrieval and population of clinical documents and summaries, minimum data sets, and other input and outputs.

This Functional Model is not a messaging specification, an implementation specification, a conformance specification, a specification for the underlying PHR (the record itself) or a conformance or conformance testing metric.
