America’s Health Insurance Plans and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association say they are forging ahead with their own portable personal health record program.
AHIP, Washington, and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, Chicago, reported today that they already have been testing a standard PHR that patients could use to move information about topics such as their immunization records and allergies from one health insurer to another.
The portability component should be available by 2008, the groups say.
Health insurers are working on the project with standards groups and the National Health Council, Washington.
