The Use of Digital Personal Health Records (PHR) in Occupational Health.

Abstract

The exact definition of a personal health record (PHR) is not clear, but it is generally defined as an electronic record of an individual's medical examination results and medication history that can be accurately tracked by the individual and family members. There are many opportunities to obtain personal PHR data in the field of occupational health, and the amount of information in a worker's PHR is enormous. It is necessary in this field to comprehensively integrate and accumulate not only information from medical examinations, but also records of the work environment and work records as personal health information.
